Kleinostheim Forest Lake

Highlight • Lake

The Waldsee was created by a handful of idealists in 1964
built in the winter meadows with the support of the community.
The forest lake consists of 3 ponds with 1.2 hectares of water.
Our ponds are mainly populated with carp, tench, roach, pike and pikeperch. Crayfish and small fish also feel at home with us.
Some big amur fight against algae and aquatic plants that are becoming biologically rampant. The kingfisher and the moorhen are also welcome guests.

August 9, 2022,Rückersbacher Schlucht - Alte Steinbrücke - Hexenhäuschen – Schluchthof Runde von Kleinostheim

We had made the detour to the "Phonolith" - but I can't recommend it. It's about 500 m uphill, the path isn't that nice (a lot of nettles) and I couldn't see what this highlight is supposed to be about? At the top of the phonolith there is the same information sign as at the beginning of the path. Probably …
