Die Mengelshäuser Teiche

Highlight • Lake

The Mengelshausen ponds are located in the middle of the forest between Lich and Garbenteich and make an enchanted impression.
When running in the woods, the ponds are always a welcome change.

Peter Lakes (Three Ponds)

Highlight • Lake

Different forest walks possible. Ideal for a round with the dog.
