Flax rose pond is a historical information point.
Right next to the pond, hikers come across an information point with a book made up of nine metal pages that provides information about flax cultivation, its economic importance, and processing through to the finished linen. Flax was last cultivated in Himmelsberg between 1946 and 1948, with the pond system playing a significant role in flax processing.

Puppach pond

Highlight • River

The Puppach River feeds two old fishponds where a restaurant once stood—nature is reclaiming the area. It's nice that there's more information available locally.

The tour is very varied, it goes uphill and …
