ヴェルクハウゼンの湖・トップ19

"The little water sprite is annoyed by the winter preparations, so he decides to go on a trip alone. The raft he's traveling on is difficult to steer in the storm without his friend, the beaver. He's lucky in his misfortune and only sprains his ankle when the raft crashes into a bridge pillar. Water sprite father and the Moor man finally find him, and afterward, despite the winter preparations, the family goes on a whole day's vacation. A wonderful book to brighten up dreary autumn days. The story doesn't shy away from the boring and unpleasant aspects of autumn and children's everyday life, nor does it omit the parents' distress in finding their child, nor does the little water sprite's feeling of not knowing what to do alone in the rain. All of this is brought to a happy and plausible ending and inspires trust in the parents. The atmospheric illustrations by Daniel Napp complement the text and make the already vivid language almost luminous, inviting you to explore the images." (Review by Antonia Mentel for the Borromäusverein)

A castle once stood on this site, the remains of which can still be seen today. A robber baron is said to have lived here: https://rheinland-reporter.de/tal-des-todes/

An idyllic pond with beautiful vegetation on the banks. Great for a break.

Beautiful forest swimming pool! I just wouldn't want to swim there myself because the water is very cloudy and you can't see what's bubbling around underneath you...

You can also watch fish when there is little or nothing going on. 🐟🐟

Nice place to stay with seating and possibility to swim.

The "Thalhausermühle" outdoor and forest swimming pool is the largest natural outdoor pool in the Westerwald with a water area of 16,000 square meters and sunbathing areas of 15,000 square meters. It was being cleaned today as we wandered past

The forest swimming pool is fed by the water of the Seelbach and the former mining tunnel.
