New photos of the highlight

A new and interesting highlight is being created in the Ebersberg Forest

The roof of the medieval well is currently being rebuilt

A dead-ice basin is a dry, swampy, or water-filled depression formed by the melting of dead ice. Blocks of ice that break away from the glacier tongue during melting and remain there are called dead ice. Dead-ice basins in which a water-retaining layer has developed, or whose steep slopes sometimes extend below the groundwater level, are water-filled, swampy, or boggy. Their funnel shape allowed rain and meltwater to collect. These small bodies of water have experienced varying degrees of siltation and moor development, even within the same basin. The range of vegetation formations is very broad. It ranges from small reed beds to large sedge marshes, small sedge marshes, quaking grasslands, floating leaf and aquatic vegetation, transitional bogs, and even black alder swamps.

The well is at least 600 years old (determined using the C14 method). It is still unclear who built it. The Ebersberg monastery, the dukes or a forester who lived in a so-called "forest hoof" are suspected. Research is ongoing and there are plans to open the well to the public as early as 2024 and it will even serve as a groundwater measuring point.

After the location was published in the leisure magazine Ebersberger Forst, I drove here for a quick detour. At the moment, however, this is still very unspectacular. Construction fence around it and wooden panels on the ground. You can't see anything. I hope that will change. I'd love to take a look inside. By the way, this is not an oasis of calm either. The vehicles of the St2080 rush by just 20m away. So all in all little charm. Not a worthwhile goal at the moment. There are a number of reports on the subject on Merkur.de.

According to legend, after the Battle of Hohenlinden on December 3, 1800, a mounted soldier fled from the victorious French into the forest. On the swampy forest floor, horse and rider threatened to sink, but were miraculously saved. A spring gushed out where the wildly kicking horse hit solid ground. The rider wrote down the story of his rescue and deposited it in a hollow log in the clearing. The water from the spring has been considered healing ever since.

In the house of calm hangs a "life mailbox" with the inscription: “Sometimes we feel as uprooted as this tree. A storm swirls our lives and leaves traces, pain, questions ... We usually don't know what to do with our worries! That's what this box is for. Write down what moves you and put your concerns here. We pray for you! We believe in the God of the Bible. And have made the experience that HE answers and grasps prayers. " If you want to write down your request, a piece of paper and pen are available in the House of Tranquility. But if you want to be on the safe side, you prefer to bring your own writing materials.
