A secluded pond in the forest, located on the beautiful forest road from Eschbourg to Frohmuhl. There's only one educational facility here, but otherwise no infrastructure, just plenty of idyllic forest scenery.

The small town with only about 700 inhabitants dates back to at least the 11th century. A short detour from the main street is worthwhile if you are interested in the town's history and historical architecture. Behind the town gate you can see a place whose proud buildings do not really fit in with the size of the village - somehow strange.
