Very beautiful pond is idyllically situated

An idyllic pond with beautiful water lilies in the summer on the village street in Grabau, which also serves as a fire water reservoir. But the pond isn't actually that big - it's only called that because there's also a small village pond a little further away.

In principle, the central attraction of Grabau - amazing, since the place was already mentioned in 1230.
