Great access to the Milseburg Cycle Path...

It's a beautiful drive from Steinhaus through the forest to the Haunestausee, far to Rückers past the Mariengrotte and back.

Interesting

The construction of the Marbach retention basin with permanent dam required extensive and difficult land negotiations in the 1970s, which lasted for six years. For example, the Zellmühle, the Grubenmühle and the Grubenhof had to be relocated. In 1983, the project was given the go-ahead/construction began. The work went according to plan, so that Phase I of the test dam could be initiated on February 1, 1988. In the spring of 1989, Phase II was successfully passed, so that the approval and commissioning was now possible. In addition to the main goal of preventing flooding and the associated damage, the creation of the permanent dam with a size of 15.6 hectares is intended to enrich the landscape and create opportunities for leisure and recreation. A protected part of the permanent dam with around five hectares serves in a special way to protect nature and the landscape and exclusively to promote and care for nature. The remaining area of around ten hectares, a circular path and ancillary facilities are used by the residents of our area for leisure activities and recreation. The hydropower inherent in the dam is used to generate electricity by SynEnergie - a company of RhönEnergie Fulda. The construction of this plant cost 32 million German marks (1989).

It is quite a mighty building.

The Schlitz flows into the Fulda here in the Hutzdorf district at 218 m above sea level. The Schlitz is formed in Bad Salzschlirf by the confluence of the Lauter and the Altefeld at 238.7 m above sea level. At around 12 km long, the Schlitz is one of the shortest rivers in Germany.
