The Mehlbach pond, which has nothing to do with flour or mills, because it has too little water for a mill and has never powered one, is currently being renovated by Hessen Forst. The dam is being rebuilt. For those interested: The Mehlbach is actually called Molbach, which comes from the Middle High German expression mol and means newt, lizard. Fifty years ago the first syllable was pronounced short, i.e. Melbach, or even Mölbach. That is why the old cadastral maps of the Grand Duchy still say Molbach. It's a bit of a shame that the original name has been parodied here out of ignorance. See the Lagis-Hessen State Archives for more information! I've attached a map section to the pictures. It used to be one of the ponds that had to supply the fish, when meat was still Sunday food.

Nice hut that is not so draughty... dry, protected from the wind... and if you have a lighter with you... there is a candle on the table... there would also be room outside

The Nidda rises from a raised moor north of the baptismal font and southeast of the Sieben Ahorn at an altitude of around 720 m above sea level. NN. The source area is near the Niddaquelle hiking car park on the Hoher Vogelsberg ring road. The water doesn't bubble out of the spring here, but it flows. The point on the watercourse designated as the Nidda spring was originally actually a spring in the true sense. Today, this point marks a rather arbitrary spot on the still young stream with a steady flow: at most times of the year, the water can be followed a few hundred meters further uphill through the raised moor. Above the actual spring, near a crossroads, there is an enclosed outlet from a small well room. Parts of this stream flow out of the stream bed early on - not untypical for a raised moor - and flow into other streams. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nidda_(River)
