Sunset at Rosenhof

The ponds belong to the Rosenhof Forestry Estate and were originally used for timber storage. Swimming is not permitted in the large pond, but swimming is permitted in the small pond. However, the dark water takes some getting used to and requires a bit of courage.

Rosenhof Castle was built in 1760. Unfortunately, the beautiful castle complex can only be viewed from the outside.

Beautiful lake which is very popular as a bathing lake in summer.

Both ponds are approximately 600 meters long and 300 meters wide. The smaller (lower) one is a public bathing lake, while the upper one is not open to the public. The Flammbach flows through the ponds and flows into the Schwarze Aist. This in turn flows via the Waldaist into the Aist and thus into the Danube. The Rosenhof ponds were built in 1823 primarily to have enough water for the timber float. The timber float was almost 80 kilometers long, the gradient was 650 meters; there were 50 weirs along the route. In the 19th and 20th centuries, a lot of timber was floated every spring via the Flammbach, the Schwarze Aist and the Waldaist into the Aist, where the logs were then tied into large rafts in Au on the Danube and taken to Vienna. It was not until 1947 that the laborious and dangerous timber floating process was stopped – the logs could now be transported more cheaply by truck and rail.
