🌿 Dörrbergweiher – a hidden pond in the countryside Nestled between fields and the edge of the forest, the Dörrbergweiher lies quietly and almost unnoticed. Barely frequented, it provides a habitat for waterfowl, frogs, and dragonflies – and a place to relax for those who venture off the beaten track. Tip: Ideal for a quiet break – with a bit of luck, you might spot herons or wild animals on the shore. Please be considerate: this is not a swimming pond, but a nature refuge!
