오타라우‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 호수

Basalt columns down to the water. Walking around requires a certain amount of physical agility, the path is very overgrown, you have to climb over tree trunks and crawl under them. But absolutely worth seeing

It's beautiful here

Beautiful here for hiking or cycling

From above, you get the impression that you can't walk around the lake close to the shore - but you can! ;) In two places, narrow paths lead to the shore and you can also walk around the lake from below. Be careful, though, as the narrow path is quite overgrown and unsecured, especially in the area of the small peninsula!

Great opportunity to relax - there are plenty of benches, the pond is extremely well maintained and invites you to linger. Highly Recommended!

The Sebbelsee was created by an abandoned basalt quarry in the last century in the summit area of the Sebbel hill (333 meters) and is now surrounded by a dense stock of trees. When construction of the Knüllwaldbahn from Treysa to Bad Hersfeld began at the beginning of the 20th century, the basalt quarry also went into operation. After the quarry was shut down, the Sebbelsee was created.

There has always been a natural waterfall where the Buchenbach squeezes its way through the rocks in a shady, narrow gorge. In the early 1920s, in a small basalt quarry, stones for road construction began to be mined directly in front of it. When the company was shut down, the quarry gradually fell into disrepair and was misused as a wild garbage dump. With the start of land restructuring in Christerode in 1971, the plan was drawn up to expand this former quarry into a small pond. A dilapidated irrigation ditch was renewed to supply water. This is how today's waterfall was created, which falls over an approximately 11 m high cliff into the pond. The waterfall hut was built by the citizens of Christeröd themselves. The entire facility was put into operation in 1974 and has been maintained and cared for by the local fishing club ever since. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christerode

A wonderfully beautiful lake with a diverse flora and fauna. The area is also worth seeing!
