Beautiful area to be in nature

Very nice for local recreation.

"The little water sprite is annoyed by the winter preparations, so he decides to go on a trip alone. The raft he's traveling on is difficult to steer in the storm without his friend, the beaver. He's lucky in his misfortune and only sprains his ankle when the raft crashes into a bridge pillar. Water sprite father and the Moor man finally find him, and afterward, despite the winter preparations, the family goes on a whole day's vacation. A wonderful book to brighten up dreary autumn days. The story doesn't shy away from the boring and unpleasant aspects of autumn and children's everyday life, nor does it omit the parents' distress in finding their child, nor does the little water sprite's feeling of not knowing what to do alone in the rain. All of this is brought to a happy and plausible ending and inspires trust in the parents. The atmospheric illustrations by Daniel Napp complement the text and make the already vivid language almost luminous, inviting you to explore the images." (Review by Antonia Mentel for the Borromäusverein)

When we see a monument like this, which we also encounter here in Spicheren, we are accustomed to thinking first of the two world wars that shook Europe in the first half of the 20th century. However, the history of the memorial located on this site goes back several decades: It commemorates the victims of the 1870/71 war waged by France against Germany. France's military defeat at the hands of the forces of the North German Confederation (led by Prussia), with the participation of the southern German states, led directly to the founding of what was then the German Empire.

Idyllically situated among the trees, the Mühlenwaldweiher pond with its narrow wooden walkway invites you to take a short break. In summer, the water's surface is often covered with water lilies, while dragonflies and waterfowl enliven the scene. A perfect place to enjoy the tranquility of nature. 💡 Tip: It's best to visit early in the morning or late in the afternoon – this is when the trees are reflected particularly beautifully in the water, and the light creates a peaceful atmosphere.

The idyllic pond in the forest invites you to linger. There's a playground for the little ones.

A place steeped in history! The Battle of Spichern (also known as the Battle of Speicher, Battle of Spicheren, in France also known as the Bataille de Forbach) on August 6, 1870 was a battle of the Franco-Prussian War. It was named after its location, the village of Spichern near Forbach, not far from the German-French border near Saarbrücken.

The three associated water cascades were probably created by Carl Ferdinand Stumm in the 19th century.
