ホルツハウの湖・トップ20

always worth a trip

Hardly any visitors, the lake is so quiet and since sailing on it is prohibited, there are not many tourists here.

The stream that has been dammed to form the alluvial ponds flows into the Mortelgrund at the Mortelmühle. Overall, the area with its bodies of water, riverbanks, mountain meadows and wet meadows represents a very valuable habitat.

A nice place for a break, an artificially created former raftsman's pond. Due to its color, the pond is also called the black pond.

View from the dam

Overall, a nice round and not as strenuous as expected due to the few meters in altitude. Attention: on the last part (after the Green Graben) the given path runs on a slope through the undergrowth. Not recommendable! You can reach your destination more safely by taking a detour along a larger path and a small road.
