Tips from the Community
Montiola Weiher, Thüringen The Montjola ponds were created in 1837 for the utilization of water power for the textile industry in Thüringen. In addition, the Montjola ponds have since been a popular destination for excursions and a local recreation area. The Montjola ponds (also: Montjola-See or Montiola-Weiher, 686 m above sea level) are located on the Quadern high plateau in the municipality of Thüringen. The Montjola ponds were created in 1837 for the operation of the spinning and weaving mill founded by John Douglass and partner. In the 1980s, the ponds were dredged. In 2016, Montjola pond II was renovated and redesigned for approximately 250,000 Euros[2], and the infrastructure was slightly expanded.[3][4] At the same time, a "Historical Experience and Educational Trail" was established, illustrating the long history of water power utilization for industry in Thüringen. A significant portion of the costs was funded through the European Union's LEADER action program. In 2024, a roughly 700-meter-long tunnel was laid using the micromining method to relieve the ponds and provide flood protection, diverting excess water from the Schwarzbach via the Schlosstobel into the Lutz. In the spring of 2025, planting of the renatured pond took place with the participation of students from the Thüringen elementary school.

The Ill River flows directly into the Alpine Rhine at the so-called Illspitz – a popular meeting place for cyclists and walkers who enjoy cooling off in the water or having a picnic. Not far away is the modern Illspitz power plant, which has been generating electricity since 2014 and also incorporates ecological improvements such as fish ladders and renaturalized river sections.
