ウィットゥランの天然記念物・トップ9

Idyllically situated among the trees, the Mühlenwaldweiher pond with its narrow wooden walkway invites you to take a short break. In summer, the water's surface is often covered with water lilies, while dragonflies and waterfowl enliven the scene. A perfect place to enjoy the tranquility of nature. 💡 Tip: It's best to visit early in the morning or late in the afternoon – this is when the trees are reflected particularly beautifully in the water, and the light creates a peaceful atmosphere.

The idyllic pond in the forest invites you to linger. There's a playground for the little ones.

The actual site of the three burial mounds is a bit further away, where the small lake is today. The mounds were artificially raised. One of the mounds is accessible, and the grave has been reconstructed. (When the pavilion isn't currently being renovated, 2025)

This pedunculate oak has been registered as a "monument tree" since 2014. Its girth of almost 5 meters, its span of more than 30 meters, and its height of approximately 25 meters make it a remarkable tree. Strollers pause to admire its splendor. Its tortured form reflects its centuries-old history. This ancient tree, truly majestic, has probably witnessed significant historical events, such as the Revolution, since the reign of Louis XIV. It must have been a fine sight when, in 1814, the "Muehlgraben" cross was erected almost under its shadow. It is one of those wounded oaks, one that doesn't break even when struck by lightning. From its venerable summit, it can contemplate almost three centuries. Serene, majestic, and dignified, it embodies, with another oak at its side, the symbols of strength, resilience, and invincibility.

Currently closed for renovation. A beautiful, vividly presented Celtic burial chamber opened to the public as a museum.

There are lovely shady benches at/with a view of the Mühlenwaldweiher pond, but cycling around the pond is prohibited. Further information: https://www.saarpfalz-touristik.de/attraktionen/muehlenwaldweiher-ba513efb5f
