호엔부르크‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪6‬개의 호수

The transformer house is an eye-catcher.

Since the Kneipp pool is on the cycle path, you can take a relaxing break here and relax while Kneipp.

Here is a so-called Himmelsweiher, locally also called Hüll, in the middle of the forest. Surface water is rare in the Jura, as is the case here in the deer forest. Such bodies of water are all the more important for amphibians and other species.

The Weiherschacht is (currently) the only remnant of a chain of ponds in the Hirschwald. Today the land belongs to the Bavarian state, but the Ensdorf monastery farmed the pond here until secularisation, as the fish in it were an important food for the Benedictine monks in the monastery.

A Hüll or Himmelsweiher - i.e. a body of water with no inflow or outflow - is located here at the site of a former settlement called Eggenberg. It belonged temporarily to the Ensdorf monastery and housed the sheep farm. It later went into private ownership. Around 1860 the Bavarian state bought Hog and Grund, demolished the buildings and reforested them. Today only the shell can be seen. In our arid region, such water points were rare and valuable. They were partly of natural origin, partly they were created artificially. Human (and animal) settlement at this point, far from other water sources, would otherwise not have been possible.

The only body of water far and wide in the deer forest. Ideal for a resting bench.

Good to reactivate tired feet 😅👍

The village pond, "the old hull", in Oberhof is a very nicely designed place to take a little break and let your feet dangle. Bankerl am Weiher has become one of Oberhofer's favorites. This place is part of the circular walk "Allee der green Stars".
