The Jacobiweiher is a particularly popular excursion destination in Frankfurt's city forest. The body of water was created in 1932 according to plans by the former head of the forestry office, Dr. Jacobi, initially as a rain retention basin by damming the Königsbach.
In Frankfurt's vernacular, the pond is also affectionately called "Lake Lucerne" because of its similarity in shape and the four surrounding settlements of Niederrad, Oberrad, Sachsenhausen and Neu-Isenburg.

View of the Jacobiweiher

Highlight • Lake

You discover a really hidden highlight just before crossing the 1st bridge because there is a sign about an owl 🦉 with a knitted sweater and this owl 🦉 you discover when you look up the tree 🌳. Of course you can give the children the task of looking for a big owl in the trees shortly beforehand 🙃

Mörderbrunnen

Highlight • Natural Monument

There is a sad love story surrounding the murderer's fountain in the city forest. Now the centuries-old small monument has become a trap for amphibians and has therefore been covered with a stamped metal sheet. However, there is protest against this.

It appears inconspicuous, but its name is scary: Anyone who sees the murderer's fountain in the city forest for the first time may not immediately understand its historical significance. It was first mentioned in a document, as it is described on the city's website, in 1742. There is a legend about a tragic love that ends in death. A water fairy is said to have lost her heart to a young hunter who was killed by another hunter out of jealousy. In her grief and anger, the water fairy is said to have taken drastic measures and strangled her loved one's murderer.

Kesselbruch Pond

Highlight • Lake

In addition to the neighboring Försterwiesenweiher, the Maunzenweiher, Buchrainweiher and Jacobiweiher, the Kesselbruch pond is one of the somewhat larger ponds in the Frankfurt city forest. These main attractions are usually well frequented and can always be well integrated into cycling and walking tours.

July 29, 2025,🥾 unterhalb der ✈️ Flugschneise - Mörderbrunnen, Luderbach, Jacobi-, Försterwiesen- und Kesselbruchweiher - unterwegs im Frankfurter Stadtwald

Quite "unspectacular" on the map, but thanks to the many mandarin ducks, cormorants, turtles, grey herons, and the like 📷, the tour has actually developed quite beautifully...

The tour is definitely enjoyable even in hot temperatures, as it runs almost exclusively through forest and can be varied as desired, as a variety of paths and clearings run through the area.

The owl in the Norwegian sweater is part of the Komische Kunst (Comical Art) in the GrünGürtel and sits in a tree by the Jacobiweiher. Not far from there, you'll find the "Peeing Tree", which we skipped today, however.

Frankfurt city forest - always beautiful. And one lake after the other. The highlight: Leonie walked the whole time, we didn't need a buggy!

September 20, 2025,Septemberlicht - Isenburg und Weiher im Stadtwald

Summer bids farewell with a gift... one last (?) day of summer 🌞.
September sun is different from midsummer sun. The shadows are longer, the light more subdued and milder. The sunbeams sparkle all the more quickly on the water, then reflect off the water onto the leaves. Flooded with light, it's as if everything and everyone wants to soak …

December 3, 2023,Drei-Weiher-Runde im Stadtwald

The weather was too nice to stay indoors today. So we quickly set up a tour, put on the thick clothes and went to the city forest, where we hadn't been out for what felt like ages.
The colorful highlight at the end were of course the madarinen ducks; The male birds with their brightly colored plumage are a real …
