メンヒスデッギンゲンの湖・トップ20

ニーダーハウスとホーホハウスの城跡: ニーダーハウス城跡の石壁は生きています。ここではシダや、タイセイヨウアオギリのような絶滅危惧種の草花が自生しており、また、珍しいタカやフクロウの営巣地にもなっています。 ヒュルンハイムの貴族は同時にカルトゥージア渓谷に3つの城を築きました。ニーダーハウス城は本拠地として建設され、1236年頃に入居しました。家族が3つの系統に分かれた後、ここでは「ヒュルンハイム・ニーダーハウス貴族」と名乗りました。2番目の家系は「ヒュルンハイム・ホーホハウス貴族」と名乗り、反対側の尾根の南西にあるホーホハウス城に入居しました。3番目の系統である「ヒュルンハイム・ラウハウス貴族」は、クリストガルテンの北の斜面の上にラウハウス城に入居しました。

池の中に枯れた木があります。素晴らしい光景

A fantastic highlight of the tour. The path leads from the top, practically through the castle ruins, down to the pond :-)

Iduell small pond with circular path

Impressive facility with information boards and a beautiful view

A Malm block measuring several thousand cubic meters within the colorful rubble masses in the area surrounding the Nördlinger Ries was used to extract raw materials and was partially mined. A small pond formed in the resulting hollow due to the low water permeability of the surrounding rubble rocks. The outcrop is located about 5.5 km southeast of the crater rim. The Gunzenheimer Gump is a small artificial pond (about 8 m deep), but it could only have been created due to the special geological conditions of its surroundings and human activities. The colorful rubble masses here consisted of large white Jurassic limestone blocks (Malm Delta) and clayey and sandy components from the Triassic and older Jurassic periods (Lias, Dogger). While the clayey-sandy deposits were removed, the more weather-resistant lime remained. The lime was used to build the Kaisheim monastery church. Due to the damming nature of the clays of the colorful rubble masses, water could rise under excess pressure (artesian rising spring) during lime mining and form a pond. The special geological significance of the Gunzenheimer Gump was taken into account in 2004. The Gunzenheimer Gump was included in the official geotope cadastre of the Bavarian State Office for the Environment and was thus awarded the "Geotop" seal of quality.

Lots of beautiful hikes around it 🌿🤍

"It is probably rare to find a lake with deep, clear water on a slope surrounded by poor and dry grassland. There are many legends and legends surrounding the Gunzenheimer Gump. How does the water get to a high point within a very dry area? The Both opposites can only be explained with the events of the giant catastrophe. These are ejecta from the giant, where Jura rock had fallen onto a large clay block and sunk deeply. Because the dry heath in the area previously had no protection and little economic value, the Jura rock was quarried, just like in many other places on the edge of the Ries. Apparently soon after mining began, water began to collect in the surrounding clay layer, making further mining impossible. What remained was the mysterious Gunzenheimer Gump, a deep, clear lake. The water comes from groundwater sources and is always full to the brim, even in extremely dry times. Occasionally the excess water runs over the heaths to the west, which leads to a completely different spectrum of plants with lawns, gap sedges and blue rushes as key species. The underwater vegetation consists primarily of pondweed, while in the peripheral areas pond ledges, sedges and occasionally even flesh-colored orchid can be found."
