The small town of Bötersheim has just 150 inhabitants - an idyllic spot right on the Este with a farm, water mill, a 1000-year-old oak tree and a great forge...

The mill pond in Böttersheim and Läd is wonderful for resting, there are three benches and a table there. So you can also have a wonderful picnic. Behind you is the Böttersheimer Mühle, a very old and beautiful building.

The Este was dammed here to form the picturesque sawmill pond in order to operate the sawmill, as the name already suggests. A little further on is the idyllic mill pond, which is also dammed up by the Este.

There is no Bötersheim pond here, only the saw mill pond and the mill pond, as the two nameplates on the lakes also show. The sawmill pond is already set as a highlight and the mill pond is a little further on. The Este was dammed here to form both ponds to power the watermill and sawmill. Both lakes are very idyllic and worth seeing.
