One of many ponds in the jungle.

The Gouvysweiher is located between Kirschheck and Neuhaus. The area is called Steinbachtal.

The pond is in the middle of the forest, is quite small, and even in bright sunshine it is rather shady there. Nevertheless, it is often relatively busy around the pond, which may be due to the fact that many paths lead past there, including the Naheweg and the Saar-Mosel-Weg.

Pierre Joseph Gouvy (1715-1768) is the founder of the Goffontaine hut (place name) in Schafbrücke. After his death, his son François Louis Pierre Gouvy took over his father's company or company and was the tenant of the Jägersfreuder hammer mill (steel production), which the Gouvy family later bought.

At the fork in the road there is a shaft stone with the following information: “Gouvysweiher, named after the French. The Gouvy family, founders of early industry in Saarland around 1750, works: Goffontaine / Stahlhammer, Drahtzug - In this area are the 6 east shafts of the Von-der-Heydt mine from 1857 to 1932, Gouvysweiher shaft, Steinbach shafts I + II, cherry tail shafts I. + II. "
The board at the shaft stone also contains a reference to the hiking trails that lead past.
