Beautiful chapel by a small pond with a good place to rest;

A beautiful spot with benches at a chapel under trees by a pond.

The transformer house is an eye-catcher.

Since the Kneipp pool is on the cycle path, you can take a relaxing break here and relax while Kneipp.

The Weiherschacht is (currently) the only remnant of a chain of ponds in the Hirschwald. Today the land belongs to the Bavarian state, but the Ensdorf monastery farmed the pond here until secularisation, as the fish in it were an important food for the Benedictine monks in the monastery.

A Hüll or Himmelsweiher - i.e. a body of water with no inflow or outflow - is located here at the site of a former settlement called Eggenberg. It belonged temporarily to the Ensdorf monastery and housed the sheep farm. It later went into private ownership. Around 1860 the Bavarian state bought Hog and Grund, demolished the buildings and reforested them. Today only the shell can be seen. In our arid region, such water points were rare and valuable. They were partly of natural origin, partly they were created artificially. Human (and animal) settlement at this point, far from other water sources, would otherwise not have been possible.

The only body of water far and wide in the deer forest. Ideal for a resting bench.

Good to reactivate tired feet 😅👍
