플로르슈타트‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

Origin from the Wölfersheim opencast mine From 1937, the Braunkohlen-Schwel-Kraftwerk Hessen-Frankfurt AG (HEFRAG), a subsidiary of the Preußische Elektrizitäts AG (PREAG), operated several brown coal opencast mines in the Wetterau lignite mining area to supply the Wölfersheim opencast power plant. One of the first of these was the Wölfersheim opencast mine, right next to the power plant. After the fields there had been mined out in 1943, they were partially filled with waste and the area was recultivated. This left several remaining holes, which filled with groundwater over time. In addition to the largest, the Wölfersheimer See with 37 hectares, there are two smaller lakes a few hundred meters further east (Schwelteich in the Schwelteich nature reserve of Echzell) and to the north (Heldteich). Overall, the water areas take up less than half of the former open-cast mine.

The Wölfersheimer See is a lake east of the Hesse town of Wölfersheim. At almost 40 hectares, the lake is the largest in the Wetterau. It was created as an opencast mine residue lake after the closure of the Wölfersheim lignite opencast mine. It was later used as a cooling pond for the Wölfersheim power plant. Today it serves as a natural area, as a sailing area, as a fishing area and for local recreation. Swimming is prohibited. The lake (2023) no longer contains oxygen from a depth of two and a half meters; According to the State Office for Nature Conservation, Environment and Geology, the phosphate content is 15 to 20 times higher than is acceptable for inland water.

Here the “location” was carried out incorrectly. The “soldiers” are installed on the waiting tree near Windecken.

In memory of the fact that a long time ago (1897) an “imperial maneuver” took place here, the “guard soldiers” were set up. In the summer, various events are also held at the “Wartbaum”:

The Wartbaum is one of 18 stations on the Hohe Straße regional park route.

The fountain is in a beautifully designed, well-kept park with many benches for resting and picnicking

On the way to the Nidda cycle path we pass this small, fine park every now and then and enjoy the refreshment that the cool water of the fountain offers...

After a tour of the northern or southern route of the Wetterau Lake District, a cold, brewed Fassbrause in the "beer garden" of the football golf course at Lake Wölfersheim is simply a must....👍👍👍🤗
