You discover a really hidden highlight just before crossing the 1st bridge because there is a sign about an owl 🦉 with a knitted sweater and this owl 🦉 you discover when you look up the tree 🌳. Of course you can give the children the task of looking for a big owl in the trees shortly beforehand 🙃

Jacobi Pond

Highlight • Lake

The Jacobiweiher is a particularly popular excursion destination in Frankfurt's city forest. The body of water was created in 1932 according to plans by the former head of the forestry office, Dr. Jacobi, initially as a rain retention basin by damming the Königsbach.
In Frankfurt's vernacular, the pond is also affectionately called "Lake Lucerne" because of its similarity in shape and the four surrounding settlements of Niederrad, Oberrad, Sachsenhausen and Neu-Isenburg.

Jacobi Pond

Highlight • Lake

The body of water was created in 1932 as a retention basin. It is said to resemble Lake Lucerne because of the shape of the 4 surrounding towns.

No, we didn't swim across the lake. After the delicious meal in the Oberschweinstiege, I just forgot to turn the tour back on. Later Komoot took the shortest route...through the water.

As always very nice at the Jacobiweiher. Today, exceptionally, there were few people out and about, but herons and turtles. Food in the Oberforsthaus is delicious!

After the exhausting packing for a move at work, I needed something to unwind in the lovely weather. So I cycled through the city forest to the Jacobiweiher, walked all the way around and cycled back. It was lovely. And sooo many ducklings!

Two abdominal surgeries were performed on a leisurely stroll around the Jacobiweiher. Lots of dogs swimming! Picnicing on a bench by the lake made us feel like we were on vacation.

Jacobiweiher is always beautiful. You meet a lot of people and dogs, but everyone is deeply relaxed. Today was duckling time.

So many animal encounters today at the Jacobiweiher: turtles, grass snakes, coot nests, courting herons, cormorants chasing herons away ... And I always enjoy eating at the Oberschweinstiege

May 3, 2026,Zum Brunchen beim Oberforstmeister Jacobi 🥛🍽️ - Natur Pur in FFM Teil 2️⃣

This morning I felt like going for a little spin again. There wasn't time to create a new tour, so I looked in the "Saved tours" on Komoot and discovered a great tour (again) in FFM. Just a loop around the Jacobi Weiher. Perfect. Not long, not difficult. Just nature and water 🌸🍀🌻⚓️ and that's exactly how it was. I …
