Description

The idyllically situated pond Georgsteich was artificially created around 1712 during the construction of a nearby mill. The hilly forest around the pond and the Hatzbach stream offers nice hiking and biking routes across a large forest area and the opportunity to hear and see several owls. I have heard the calls of several owls at dusk.
