💧 Spring and Pond at the Blaue Halde (Blue Halde) Tucked away in the quiet forest area near the Blaue Halde (Blue Halde) lies this idyllic spot with a clear spring and a small pond. Surrounded by lush greenery and mature trees, the scenery seems almost enchanted – a place to pause and take a deep breath. 💡 Tip: Ideal as a quiet stopover for nature lovers who are off the beaten track. Especially beautiful in the early morning or late afternoon when the light filters through the treetops.

The Woog & its history: The Scheidenberger Woog, a large lake, was located in what is now Bruch for centuries. The Glan reservoir was drained in 1770 to dry out the Bruch. The Kranichwoog has only existed since 2019; it was created as part of the land consolidation. NATURA 2000 adventure trail & crane tower: The NATURA 2000 adventure trail has existed since 2024 with some information boards along the way. There are also QR codes; if you scan them, you can listen to Rudi the crane telling stories about the path and nature. The Kranichwoog (crane tower) adventure tower has also existed since 2024. The tower is 24 m high and has 104 steps. More information: https://www.kranichwoog.de/ https://www.nabu-weilerbach.de/unsere-projekte/
