The history of Engels Ruh refers to the name of Elisabeth Engel from Sand, daughter of the linen weaver Friedrich Engel. Elisabeth Engel was born in 1858. She was always called “Angel” by everyone in Sand and the surrounding area. This didn’t change when she got married and became Mrs. Rothe. She had a cart with which she bought fruit and vegetables from farmers in Sand and the surrounding area and then offered them for sale every week at the market in Kassel. In this way she provided for her family. Most likely the cart was pulled by a pony. The chronology is before 1904, as from this point onwards the Kassel-Naumburg small railway ran to Kassel. No further details are known today. Ms. Elisabeth Engel always laid at this point, between Bad Emstal (sand) and Niedenstein one Take a breather. Every week, year after year. So the "Angel's breaks" remained in the memory of the people around and in Bad Emstal, the place is known as "Engels Ruh", especially in Sand and Niedenstein the Population passed over. Even today the place is a popular rest area between the Altenburg, the Falkenstein, the ramparts and the medieval desert "Embser Berg" of the Emser Berg. Hiking trails intersect here in all directions and so the "Engels Ruh" can carry on its name.

There are said to be seven (?) ponds here. You can only spot four straight away. They lie comfortably overgrown in the forest. The remaining three are probably camouflaged among the trees and dense undergrowth or are tiny.
