🌊 Laufhauser Weiher – Natural Idyll with Barbecue Area The Poggrech Weiher lake is quietly nestled in the greenery between fields and forest. A rustic barbecue hut is located directly on the shore – ideal for short breaks, family outings, or a relaxing rest with a view of the water. Frogs croak, birds sing – it can be completely quiet here. Tip: The hut can be used for groups – please inquire with the local municipality in advance. It's especially beautiful in the early evening!

July 2023: little swamp and no ducks. Is then again a special biotope, so marshy and half dried up. Great panorama.

The pond is almost dry at the moment, revealing an ugly, blue and tattered foil. Very ugly and not very natural. Yesterday the children were able to discover a great fire salamander.
