Mühlenteich

The mill pond is the slowly growing and verlandende water reservoir of the former princely mill, fed by the black Au. It is quite large and elongated and houses a variety of waterfowl. A pair of shovels was paddling over the water in front of our eyes.

At the former mill, the water tumbles from the mill pond into the creek bed.

Nice pond, fed by "Schwarze Au".
There are various nice restaurants where you can sit outside on the sunny terrace.

Nicely embedded in nature ...

The pond is beautiful.

The pond grows more and more every year. In the meantime, willows are already growing on the water surface there.

The Schwarze Au is dammed up here to form the mill pond.
