웸바흐‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪5‬개의 호수

At around 325 meters long and 200 meters wide, the Nonnenmattweiher pond isn't particularly large, but it's truly beautiful to look at. So, if you're looking for a wonderfully located swimming lake in the Black Forest, you're in the right place by jumping into this medieval lake near Badenweiler. Here, you can swim in peace and enjoy the Black Forest in all its splendor. After the lake had probably silted up in the Middle Ages, it was subsequently dammed. According to legend, a nunnery is said to have sunk into the lake. However, the lake's name doesn't stem from this legend, but rather from the fact that fattening cows, called nuns, used to grazed the pastures surrounding the lake.

Interesting and worth seeing glacial lakes.

Fantastic views all the way to the Alps...

Beautiful ice age mountain lake

The round around the pond is a must if you're already here.

The walk around the pond is really worth it. Almost half of it is designated as a bathing lake. We had nice weather at the end of October, but it was too cold for swimming.

Flora and fauna Several species of peat moss grow on the peat island, such as the sheath cotton grass (Eriophorum vaginatum) and several peculiarities such as the cranberry (Vacinium oxycoccos) and the round-leaved sundew (Drosera rotundifolia). In the Nonnenmattweiher and in its surroundings u. a. following animal species were found: common toad, mountain newt, thread newt, mountain lizard, lemon canary, capercaillie. The fish stock consists of species such as trout, eel, pike, zander, tench and carp.

From the Weiherfelsen you have a wonderful view of the Nonnenmattweiher. 🤩 It's worth stopping by here. Depending on the hiking direction, mine has a steep climb or steep descent.
