クレクリンゲンの山小屋＆キャビン・トップ14

Technically, Lake Nassau is a flood control basin with a permanent water level. The dam is passable, and if the ground isn't too wet, the lake can be circumnavigated with a gravel bike.

Still new and very clean

Beautiful Lake

The monastery forest hut at a fork in the road is good for a break, the wind turbine next to it doesn't fit into the picture at all 😥

A shelter with the possibility to take shelter is AMAZING!

Take a rest. Here!

The Nonnenwald used to be called (from 1382) Flinswald. In 1339 the name Flinzwalde or Flinzwalt is mentioned. Flins comes from the Latin which means flint stone or stony. I.e. Flinswald means stony forest. At the south-east corner of the Nonnenwald (towards Schmalfelden) was a village called Flinshof. This farm belonged to the Schäftersheim monastery. In documents one also finds: Curie (Hof) Vlinsbach. The courtyard was probably created after 1253 as a monastery courtyard. During the Peasants' War of 1525, the farm went up in flames, along with nearby Künenweiler and Duttenhofen.

The Nonnenwald and the Nonnenwiesen (30 acres) south of the Nonnenwald belonged to the Kreuzfeld monastery. After many disputes between the Kreuzfeld monastery and the Schäftersheim monastery, the Kreuzfeld monastery was dissolved in 1253 and the goods were integrated into the Schäftersheim monastery. A large part of the Kreuzfeld nuns also went to Schäftersheim.
