The Bömbachsee near Altensteig-Spielberg is idyllically situated, surrounded by forests in the middle of the countryside, and invites you to swim. The small lake is easily accessible via the Ziegelweg, and parking is available. A large sunbathing lawn with shady trees adjoins the eastern shore.

Neu-Nuifra is located at an altitude of 620 m. Chronicle of Neu-Nuifra Neu-Nuifra owes its founding to the ducal decree of July 20, 1723. It permits 8 families to settle as woodcutters, potash boilers, and lampblack burners. Each family receives 20 Morgen of land for cultivation, as well as the necessary building timber free of charge. The settlers come from Pfalzgrafenweiler, Grömbach, Baisingen, Dobel Garrweiler, and Spielberg. In 1724, Neu-Nufra becomes a part of the municipality of Herzogsweiler. The name "Äschenteich" (Ash pond) is a reminder of the first settlers. In 1858, Neu-Nuifra has 137 inhabitants who earn their living in the forest and in agriculture. On the right side of the Waldachtal, between Mandelburg and Altnuifra, there was in ancient times another settlement called "Uttenweiler" with its own church, which is said to have disappeared even before the Thirty Years' War. Since 1951, Neu-Nuifra has belonged to the municipality of Pfalzgrafenweiler. Source: https://www.pfalzgrafenweiler.de/die-gemeinde/teilorte/neu-nuifra

The Bösinger Wasserhäusle was a pumping station and served to transport fresh spring water from a source in the Waldach valley via cast iron pipes to the village of Bösingen (part of the municipality of Pfalzgrafenweiler), 1.4 km away and 140 meters higher. The pumps were driven by the water power of the Waldach. A water wheel with a diameter of six meters was used. The facility went into operation in 1894. In 1911, it was supplemented by an 8 hp gasoline engine, which could now also drive the pumps during low water levels in the Waldach. In 1948, it was connected to the power grid via a transformer station, from which time a newly installed electric motor could serve as a backup drive. The Bösingen's own water supply was taken out of operation in 1991 due to drinking water contamination. The entire facility with its weir, power channel, and pumping station has been protected as a cultural-historical monument since 2000. The pumping station can be visited all day on the Day of the Open Monument. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%B6singer_Wasserh%C3%A4usle
