Basalt was still mined in the Dietesheim quarries until 1982. Since then, a magnificent lake landscape has emerged there, which is not only attractive for walkers and cyclists, but as a nature reserve also offers a refuge for numerous rare animal and plant species.
The Oberwaldsee is the largest of the Dietesheim lakes. An absolute highlight is the so-called canyon bridge, which spans the narrow connection between Oberwaldsee and Vogelsberger See at a lofty height.
