ハッツェンビュールのおすすめMTBライド

A lovely historical gem in an otherwise rather monotonous area.

Mittelmühle irregularly square complex; half-timbered house, 18th century, southern outbuilding, dated 1730 (renovated), northern outbuilding, dated 1848.

The small, round chapel with niches, situated at the edge of the forest, was built in 1994 according to the plans of architect Hermann Wiechmann from Hayna, largely through the volunteer efforts of the Marienkapelle e.V. (St. Mary's Chapel Association), and consecrated in 1996. Its striking features include a conical roof with a spire and bell, as well as modern stained-glass windows. An old field chapel on Kapellenweg (Chapel Path) had been demolished in 1960 due to its dilapidated condition. A promise was made to build a new, more attractive chapel elsewhere. The chapel contains a neo-Gothic Pietà and an 18th-century statue of St. John Nepomuk, both painted. Also of note is the photographic documentation of those killed and missing in action during both World Wars.

The so-called Bear Ponds are fish ponds managed by the Ottersheim Angling Club. They are located in a nature reserve. At the southeastern corner of the lower pond, there is a fish sculpture commemorating Jean Benz, a prominent figure in the angling community. A beautiful covered rest area, the "Jean Benz Park," with two benches and a table, has recently been created at the northeastern corner of the lake, along the Queich Valley Cycle Path. It's a wonderful place to unwind... especially on mild evenings when the sun sets in the west and you can gaze out over the ponds.

The castle is well-lit at night, glowing a bright orange. However, caution is advised when driving around the castle tower, as the ground lights can be blinding.

Nice place to take a break, different opening hours, please check beforehand.

Really worth a photo

Beautifully secluded in the meadows and fields.
