ヴァルトカペルの湖・トップ20

Although various prohibition signs restrict access to Lake Meinhard, which is part of the local campsite, there are still some beautiful views with benches overlooking the former gravel pit in the Werra Valley.

Beautiful lake, which is primarily intended for fishing.

A great, asphalted cycle path that leads past the fishing ponds of the ASV Eschwege and the Meinhardsee.

Absolutely recommended. Whether on foot or by bike. 😎

Here you can finally make some progress!

Surrounded by beautiful forests, Lake Meinhard lies between the Meinhard districts of Grebendorf and Jestädt. Bicycles can be parked in front of the “Zu den Seeterrassen” entrance and are generally not allowed on the lawn.

Legend of the Frau Holle pond: The lake forms the entrance to Frau Holle's subterranean realm. At the bottom lies her castle of pure silver, surrounded by lush gardens full of flowers, fruit and vegetables. Every noon the beautiful young woman appears at her lake to take her bath in the middle of the pond. That's why this place is also called 'Bathroom of Frau Holle'. As the light earth mother and goddess of fertility, Mother Holle gave people rich harvests. She brought the rain that brought growth to the fields, and when she shook out their beds, the snow that covered everything. If they were angered, they brought misfortune and misery to the land.

Beautiful and sufficient rest areas with lake views.
