Ulrich's Pond in the Hasselbach Valley is now a beautiful, romantic spot. Originally built to generate energy, it is now a small natural paradise.

So it's Ullrich's Pond. But it has nothing to do with the former grinding mill (which one is that? There are, or were, several in HoMi). There used to be the Ullrich wood and furniture factory on Pipping (the house is still standing, now a half-timbered house converted into a residential building), which used the reservoir to generate electricity. How do I know this: My in-laws have lived here since time immemorial; the older ones still remember it; the grinding mill (one of the former ones) is family-owned. You can also read about it online, for example, here: https://www.naturpark-solling-vogler.de/index.php/mittelgebirgsbach.html

The Hellental valley is a feast for the eyes. Comparable valleys are rare in the Solling region. Everything is wonderfully peaceful here.

The Hellental valley, stretching from Mecklenbruch in the southwest to the village of Hellental in the northeast, features extensively used grassland in some areas, including remnants of montane mountain meadows, and is one of two representative areas for submontane matgrass meadows in the Weser-Leine Uplands. The near-natural meadow stream "Helle" is bordered by small wet meadows and some riparian woodland. A geological peculiarity is the disappearance of the stream. In some places, the water of the Helle vanishes into a ponor (swallow hole) only to reappear elsewhere. This is caused by the intense tectonic stress on the Muschelkalk limestone that has subsided into this Solling graben, resulting in its highly fractured state. https://www.nlwkn.niedersachsen.de/naturschutzgebiete/naturschutzgebiet-moore-und-walder-im-hochsolling-hellental-43611.html

A very special place in the most beautiful nature. With a stream, pond, small waterfalls, sun lounger, picnic area and sometimes a lot of mudder 😉

This is where the Black Forest feeling comes in 🏞️😁 and there is also a bench for forest bathing. Very idyllic!

Beautiful hiking trails and through the moor on a boardwalk.

There is a good view of the moor from the tower.
