Aje Lake (New Quarry)

Highlight • Lake

Very nicely located. There are a few places to rest.
There is a beautiful trail around the lake. Definitely worth it for bikers.

Parking is quite generous, the area is very well maintained and the playground invites the kids to play. The paths are gravelly or well run forest floor and the Hegwaldbach serves as a water hole for the Wufti.

Abandoned Railway House

Highlight • Structure

Small overgrown lost place… nothing special… collecting blackberry thorns is not worth it

Waldsee blasting pit

Highlight • Lake

In the past, this was the site of the explosive ordnance that had been cleared, which created a lake. The ordnance disposal service is still active, but runs off everything found every day.

March 15, 2026,Gutshof Thomashütte – Aje-See (Neuer Steinbruch) Runde von Erlenwiesen bei Ober-Roden

It was very swampy in the forest today....

There are sounds in the forest again.... the birds are chirping, the woodpecker is tapping....
It's becoming spring 😊

Everyone knows the Messel Pit World Natural Heritage Site. But there are also some old, abandoned gravel pits in the forest near Messel that have now filled with water. The Aje Lake is particularly beautifully nestled in the forest and its tranquility invites you to linger.
