Guided Story
Can you hear the gentle lapping of the water? That's the Hammerteich, resting here for over four centuries. Look up and see how the ancient trees stretch their branches like arms over the pond. Imagine, long ago, the sound of water wheels turning here, shaping the life of the region. Just behind you, a bit further, is the Borbach. If you gaze northwest, you might catch a glimpse of the Helenenturm peeking through the trees. They say the morning sun casts a golden glow over the pond, a sight that soothes the soul. Take your time, breathe deeply, and enjoy the tranquility that only a place with such history can offer.
