Darmbach Fish Ponds

Highlight • Lake

The Darmbach, which gave Darmstadt its name and feeds these five fish farming ponds, has its source very close by. All fish species that can be found in a lake live here and of course a few always hungry gray herons. Speaking of hungry: At the other end of the fish ponds is the "fisherman's hut". In the restaurant there you can let yourself be pampered by the friendly innkeepers.
