グレーベナウの湖・トップ20

The dam in the Ibra Valley (Ibra Reservoir), built in 1974 for flood protection, is also used for leisure and recreation. Kirchheim Lake Park offers campsites, holiday homes, waterskiing facilities, beach volleyball courts, and other sports facilities, as well as a conference hotel. The 8.4-hectare, up to eight-meter-deep bathing lake is visited by an average of around 60 bathers per day; during peak season, the number can rise to 300.

Basalt columns down to the water. Walking around requires a certain amount of physical agility, the path is very overgrown, you have to climb over tree trunks and crawl under them. But absolutely worth seeing

In addition to the water sports activities on the lake such as swimming, water skiing, SUP and boat rentals, there are also sports and games on land. A circular path leads around the lake in the Ibratal and over the dam. The new fable path "Wupp die Kupp" begins at the Seepark Kirchheim car park. The R18 cycle path leads from Kirchheim to the Seepark. The Seepark Kirchheim is home to the spiritual event center of the Bhakti Marga religious community with the Ashram Sri Vitthal Dham, a Hindu monastery. Meditation and yoga courses are offered.

The small pond belonged to the Huhnstadt farm. From the first documented mention in 1372, it was deduced that the Huhnstadt farm was originally a village settlement divided into two parts: Groß-Hohenscheit and Wenigen-Hohenscheit under the street. In 1492, the name was "Hoenscheit" under the Hertzberg (on the street). Later we read Honstat and from 1780 onwards, "Hohnstädt" in general. In 1360, Groß-Hohescheit consisted of a house and an estate. Wenigen-Hohenscheit consisted only of a small agricultural property. Hohnstet is mentioned on the Mercator map of 1592. In 1895, the estate covered around 116 hectares - of which 56 hectares were arable land - 20 hectares of meadows, 18 hectares of pasture and 20 hectares of wasteland. In 1927, Pastor E. Paulus reported in his local newspaper “Rings um den Herzberg” that the knight “Hans v. Storndorf” and his horsemen attacked, destroyed and burned the Dörnberg estate Hohenscheit in 1498. Hans von Dörnberg and Hans von Storndorf were personal enemies. The properties belonging to various owners were purchased by the von Dörnberg family - this is how the “Hof Huhnstadt” came into being.

From above, you get the impression that you can't walk around the lake close to the shore - but you can! ;) In two places, narrow paths lead to the shore and you can also walk around the lake from below. Be careful, though, as the narrow path is quite overgrown and unsecured, especially in the area of the small peninsula!

Residential groups for people with disabilities. A small pond in the middle of the village
