ガンメルスハウゼンの湖・トップ19

At that time, the lake enabled regular swimming lessons, and soon there were no non-swimmers left in Dürnau. Today, it is no longer a bathing lake. The Feuersee already existed when the municipality was first surveyed in 1828. On the eastern shore, the owner of the oil mill owned a small plot of 1312 m² and a 1968 m² lake portion. From there, he channeled the water to the mill. The mill channel was approximately 0.80 m wide at the bottom and lined with sandstone. The branch off Raubeckstrasse to the east did not yet exist at that time. The valley cut was filled in for it. In the 1930s, the then teacher Friedrich Mühlhäußer and the students of his senior class remediated the rather silted body of water. On the south side, boards were nailed onto embedded beams, creating a non-swimmers' compartment. A staircase facilitated access.

Large former quarry lake

A hidden biotope between forest and meadows, it surprises with its tranquil atmosphere. If you look closely, you'll spot turtles sunbathing on branches – a rare sight in the wild!

A large former quarry lake in the Filstal valley.

Here at the Upper Roßteich we were able to observe numerous ducks. There is also a bench where you can sit and relax.

Epplesee In 1919, Karl Epple from Bad Cannstatt founded a haulage business. In 1935, he signed a contract with the municipality of Uhingen to mine gravel for concrete production in the "Unterer Wasen" area. He acquired a building site to build an office building and house the machinery. He agreed with the municipality to employ mainly workers from Uhingen in his company. He also donated a generous amount of money every year to be distributed to the needy. The company was a pioneer in building materials with products such as ready-mixed concrete, dry mortar, sand, gravel and crushed stone. The exploited pits south of the Fils were largely refilled. In 1965, the Epple company was released from the contract. The gravel pond in front of the former sorting, washing and loading facility, the so-called "Epplesee", has been preserved to this day and is maintained by the Uhingen fishing club.
