Very hidden, and therefore all the more surprising when this pond suddenly appeared.

The Lautzebachweiher pond, better known to the people of Dautphetal as the paddling pond, in the forest between Dautphe and Silberg, is a beautiful destination in any season. In spring, hundreds of tadpoles can be observed growing on the pond's shore. A forest sofa overlooking the water invites you to relax. On the opposite side of the pond, a wooden table and benches are available for a picnic. See: https://www.dautphetal.de/leben-freizeit/sehenswertes/lautzebachweiher-in-dautphe/

This investigation revealed that two former heathland areas near Dautphe, measuring 0.8 and 1.3 hectares respectively, remained where regeneration seemed promising. Implementation of the planning began in 2002, the year in which the juniper was declared 'Tree of the Year'. The municipality of Dautphetal, as the owner of the land, supported the project and thus replenished its municipal ecological account. In the spring of 2004, the then Gladenbach Forestry Office carried out extensive clearing measures. Low-growing pines were preserved as landscape-defining trees. However, it was particularly important to protect the remaining juniper stands. See: https://www.agentur-naturentwicklung.de/betreute-projekte/heier-rueck-und-bomhoehe-dautphe/index.html
