A dead-ice basin is a dry, swampy, or water-filled depression formed by the melting of dead ice. Blocks of ice that break away from the glacier tongue during melting and remain there are called dead ice. Dead-ice basins in which a water-retaining layer has developed, or whose steep slopes sometimes extend below the groundwater level, are water-filled, swampy, or boggy. Their funnel shape allowed rain and meltwater to collect. These small bodies of water have experienced varying degrees of siltation and moor development, even within the same basin. The range of vegetation formations is very broad. It ranges from small reed beds to large sedge marshes, small sedge marshes, quaking grasslands, floating leaf and aquatic vegetation, transitional bogs, and even black alder swamps.

The well is at least 600 years old (determined using the C14 method). It is still unclear who built it. The Ebersberg monastery, the dukes or a forester who lived in a so-called "forest hoof" are suspected. Research is ongoing and there are plans to open the well to the public as early as 2024 and it will even serve as a groundwater measuring point.

Very beautiful hiking trails around the Ebersberger Weiherkette. Quiet and enjoy.

According to legend, after the Battle of Hohenlinden on December 3, 1800, a mounted soldier fled from the victorious French into the forest. On the swampy forest floor, horse and rider threatened to sink, but were miraculously saved. A spring gushed out where the wildly kicking horse hit solid ground. The rider wrote down the story of his rescue and deposited it in a hollow log in the clearing. The water from the spring has been considered healing ever since.

It's always nice to come here. A quiet peaceful place.

The root house offers a place for reflection inside. There are books on display in which concerns or wishes can be presented to God. Information boards about bat species hang on the doors of the house. At the same place is the bat tower, a hollow tree trunk that can also be entered. Unless bats nest in it, then the tower is locked.

Not suitable and intended for swimming.

There are cups to drink. But maybe it would be good to bring your own 😉
