トリップシュタットの湖・トップ20

Two beautiful, idyllic ponds with a spring on the other side of the path. Invites you to take a rest.

Always be nice to each other 😀

Beautiful pond in the middle of a nature reserve. Nice for a rest

Information on the forestry office board: “As an artesian (ascending) spring, the Burgalb rises in the pond of the same name and flows at the outlet into one half of a baroque fountain trough from the garden of Trippstadt Castle. After one kilometer the Burgalb unites with the Pferdesbach to form the Schwarzbach, which flows into the Blies behind Zweibrücken, additionally fed by the Hornbach.” Since the Burgalb is the main source stream of the Schwarzbach, the Burgalb source is also considered a Schwarzbach source. In the summer of 2022, the Burgalbweiher was so dry that the overflow into the baroque fountain trough no longer worked.

A very popular hiking and cycling location in Kaiserslautern!

It's easy to miss the Ritterstein.

The Blechhammerweiher (Hammerwoog) is colloquially just called Blechhammer. It is located in a nature reserve which is also the most beautiful local recreation area together with the Vogelwoog with restaurants to the west. At the eastern end of the pond is the Hotel Blechhammer with a restaurant (but no longer open since 2020). Furthermore, the naval comradeship clubhouse. The Hammerweiher is still a little to the east but hidden by trees. The two names are based on the fact that there was once a hammer mill here that produced sheet metal. At the same time, the Barbarossa cycle path runs through the valley past the two main ponds. Unfortunately, depending on the time of year, the quality of the surface of the path is not that good.

The pond is the origin of a new brook. The spout is nicely set in a fountain.
