A place of silence and a touch of adventure, at the former settling pond in Püttlingen, nature is reclaiming the landscape. Reeds and dead wood dominate the landscape.

In 1986/1987, the remains of a Roman rural villa (villa rustica) were discovered at the settling pond. A second villa with a horse-changing station was discovered in the immediate vicinity. The finds can be dated to the second half of the 2nd century AD. Unfortunately, nothing remains of the excavations today. Only a model of the horse-changing station still indicates it. Old pictures of it can be seen above.
