    The fish ponds on the Hurkutstein were already mentioned historically in 1488. There was also a chapel on Hurktstein. An information board provides information about the founder of the chapel Heinrich Hufnagel, who lived here as a hermit and built the chapel around 1385.

      Unfortunately, the pond is badly silted up, but of course the Hurkutstein is still worth a visit.
