이러한 뮬렌바이허(Mühlenweiher)는 이곳 현장에서 – 뮐렌보른(Müllenborn)의 산책로 주차장에서 – 보는 사람에게 매우 평범해 보일 수 있습니다. 하지만 예를 들어 1923년부터 2013년까지 살았던 오트프리트 프로이슬러(Otfried Preußler)의 상상의 세계에서는 전혀 다릅니다. 그는 자신이 쓴 동화책으로 유명해졌습니다. 이곳은 또한 물의 정령 가족의 서식지이며, 오늘날까지도 그의 인기 있는 책인 '작은 물의 정령'(Der kleine Wassermann)은 뮬렌바이허에서 가족의 새끼가 겪는 모험에 대해 이야기합니다. '독서 재단'(Stiftung Lesen)은 다음과 같이 평했습니다: „물의 정령은 스물일곱 명의 친척을 초대했고, 스물여섯 명이 왔습니다. 열두 명의 물의 정령과 그들의 아내들, 한 명의 우물 정령, 그리고 성 네포무크 다리(Sankt-Nepomuks-Brücke)의 다리 요정까지! 그리고 모두가 물의 정령 아빠가 자랑스러워하는 작은 물의 정령을 보기 위해 초대에 응했습니다. 그리고 그는 자랑스러워할 만합니다. 왜냐하면 그 건방진 작은 셔츠 입은 아이는 세상에 나오자마자 헤엄을 칠 수 있기 때문입니다. 그리고 그는 걱정하는 부모가 좋아하는 것보다 더 빨리 다른 모든 것도 배웁니다. 그의 친구인 신중한 잉어 시프리누스(Cyprinus)는 때때로 지느러미만 흔들 수 있습니다... 1956년의 이 동화 고전은 이미 수많은 독자들을 매료시켰으며, 그들은 작은 물의 정령의 환상적인 모험뿐만 아니라, 약 5세부터의 어린이를 위한 책을 읽어주면서 자신들의 어린 시절 추억을 전달할 수 있습니다.“ (출처: 독서 재단)

Lake Müllenborn – often called Müllenborner Weiher – is picturesquely located in the Müllenborn district north of Gerolstein and is a real insider tip for Komoot tours. The idyllic expanse of water, surrounded by cool forests, invites you to stroll, picnic, and enjoy mindful moments by the water. A beautiful, approximately 6km circular trail leads around the lake, past the historic millstone ruins and along the Oosbach stream – ideal for quiet explorations away from the hustle and bustle. Around Müllenborn, you'll learn firsthand about the region's volcanic history: Oversized basalt blocks from the former Rother Kopf dominate the forest landscape, and you'll repeatedly encounter springs, small bridges, and the remains of old mills – hence the name "Mühlenborn" (Millsborn). The village itself, with its chapel and baroque houses on the shore, provides a charming, historic setting for the lake. The lake is not open for swimming, but in summer, you'll often find locals cooling off or fishing here; provided you have a valid license. A visit to the Müllenborn Lake Festival in July is particularly atmospheric – with brass bands, a festival tent, and a convivial village atmosphere. Just a few hundred meters away is the comfortable Landhaus Müllenborn, a 4-star country hotel with a spa, sauna, and sauna terrace – perfect for relaxing after the circular hike. The Eifelsteig trail runs nearby, and cyclists can also find connections to regional routes such as the Eifel-Ardennes Cycle Route.

The view is just as good a little further along the Maar bank.

From here you have a beautiful view over the idyllic Eichholzmaar.

Simply climb up the few steps and enjoy the beautiful view of the Eichholzmaar.

The Eichholzmaar is one of the smaller maars. This maar is round and has a diameter of about 120 m. Its maximum depth is 3 m. It was drained at the beginning of the last century and in 2007/2008 it was renaturalized and filled with water. Now water birds and reptiles live on this maar again.

On the meadow path you come across the small pond. When we were there, there were lots of tadpoles swimming in it.
