フェルダタールの湖・トップ20

Very idyllic location. Further information on the board.

A beautiful, idyllic place.

Beautiful fish pond, great landscape, easy H circular route

A place of peace and relaxation... Here you're alone, at least during the week, and can sit by the pond and enjoy the peace and quiet of nature.

Perfect hiking trails with panoramic views

The Mehlbach pond, which has nothing to do with flour or mills, because it has too little water for a mill and has never powered one, is currently being renovated by Hessen Forst. The dam is being rebuilt. For those interested: The Mehlbach is actually called Molbach, which comes from the Middle High German expression mol and means newt, lizard. Fifty years ago the first syllable was pronounced short, i.e. Melbach, or even Mölbach. That is why the old cadastral maps of the Grand Duchy still say Molbach. It's a bit of a shame that the original name has been parodied here out of ignorance. See the Lagis-Hessen State Archives for more information! I've attached a map section to the pictures. It used to be one of the ponds that had to supply the fish, when meat was still Sunday food.

Also one of those pieces of water that was originally created as a reservoir for timber rafting… nice to look at

Once a reservoir for floating wood, then a trout farm and now a nature reserve. An idyllic spot on earth.
