Near the hiking car park you will find the first pond, which is fed by the Stubbach stream.

A climate measuring station was established here in 1977. Data was read, recorded, and interpreted three times a day. This data formed the basis for the highly acclaimed brochure "Birdwatching in the Nature Reserves of the Municipality of Wildeck," published by Jürgen Meinen. After the theft of the important sunshine recorder in 2000, but also for personal reasons, the work was temporarily suspended. It only resumed after the Blumenstein School Obersuhl (BSO) became involved. After rebuilding the measuring station, the BSO has continued this important work for several years now with changing working groups.

Monte Kali Heringen is the spoil heap of the Heringen potash mine. It is one of the so-called "White Mountains," which gave the region the nickname "Land of the White Mountains." The second of these mountains is located a few kilometers away in Philippsthal.
