To us, a mill pond like the one presented to the biker here may seem very ordinary, but in the fantasy world of someone like Otfried Preußler (1923 to 2013), who became famous with the children's books he wrote, things look very different: It is also the habitat of a water sprite family, and his book "The Little Water Sprite", which is still popular today, tells of the adventures that the family's offspring experience in the mill pond. The "Stiftung Lesen" reviews it: "The water sprite invited twenty-seven relatives - and twenty-six came. Twelve water sprites with their wives, a well man and the bridge woman from St. Nepomuk's Bridge! And they all accepted the invitation because they want to see the little water sprite that the water sprite dad is so proud of. And he can be - because the cheeky little shirt-faced boy can already swim, barely having been born. And he learns everything else faster than his worried parents would like. His friend, the cautious carp Cyprinus, can sometimes only wiggle his fins... The children's book classic from 1956 has already enchanted generations of readers, who can then pass on their own childhood memories as well as the fantastic adventures of the little water sprite when reading aloud to children aged around 5 and above."

The Oberegger Stausee is a reservoir on the Günz between Oberegg and Deisenhausen. The retention basin in the shunt was built for the Oberegg hydroelectric power station, which went into operation in 1942. The lake stores the water at night and releases it again during the day when electricity is needed.
