A very romantic, shady forest path along the ponds at Dörsbach.

The "Red Sea" lies between the villages of Mensfelden and Heringen. In 2001, the Heringen fishing club took over the maintenance of the pond and has been looking after the facility ever since.

The landscape park is elaborately and lovingly designed. There is something for all ages to experience here: from a sandpit and playground for the little ones to a football pitch and skate park to a sunbathing area, boules pitch and fitness equipment, everything is there to have a good time. I found the nutrias particularly funny – not to be confused with muskrats.

Unfortunately, in 2022 the path was totally unridable directly at the pond car park and approx. another 500 m, reworking the wood in rainy weather, the result was a total loss at 100 m, 400 m 80% damage

A beautifully located place that cannot be seen from the outside even if you are about to stand in front of it. Only when you drive a few meters further do you come to the lake. Very idyllic and quiet 🤐 location.

The Red Sea 🌊 in Mensfelden is very idyllic and quiet 🤐. It cannot be seen from the outside and you only see it when you stand directly in front of it.
