For me, the associated farm pond is one of the most beautiful village waters in the area.

A beautiful, well-maintained path between the fields. It is also mown in summer and, with its viewpoints, is a highlight around Farnstädt.

Away from the road you can walk about 1 km behind the gardens of the houses in the countryside without cars.
