The cycle path goes right past there.

Greffern is a district of Rheinmünster. Further information can be found at https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greffern

Since the end of the 16th century, a glassworks has stood here, which gave the Lauf district with its idyllic reservoir its name. In addition to the raw materials of quartz sand and potash, large quantities of firewood were needed to produce glass for the operation of the smelting furnaces and to extract the potash. All of this was available in abundance here.

The bronze MUMMELSEENIXE sits alone on the rock, not far from the shore. She turns her back to the walker on the shore and looks out over the water. A plaque on the shore provides brief information about the legendary/mythical origin of the superstition that was widespread in earlier times about the existence of witches, fairies, mermaids (and similar mythical figures). The plaque then surprisingly contains a reference to the biblical letter from the Apostle Paul to the church in Corinth with an excerpt from the "Song of Songs".

Greffern and the surrounding area, always worth a bike trip and there is always something going on here when the weather is nice 👀✌️😉

the arched dam wall of the reservoir is something special and well worth seeing

Very surrounded figure at Mummelsee

The landmark of the Mummelsee! Who does not know her ;-)
