The Hofmannsweiher, with around 16 hectares, is the smallest body of water on the Westerwald lake plateau in the Hohe Westerwald. It is located near Steinebach an der Wied and was artificially created around 1668 by damming the upper Wied. Today, the idyllic body of water belongs to the NABU Foundation Nationales Naturerbe. As a protected natural area, the pond offers a valuable retreat for rare plant and animal species such as the "Moderlieschen". The fish-rich lake is surrounded by dense forests, marsh meadows, and a historic dam overgrown with oaks.
