The small fairytale lake near Rottenburg is actually a flooded quarry in a narrow gorge. It is very picturesque and romantic in the forest. There is a playground nearby, so this place is also very suitable for visiting with children.

Fine-grained reed sandstone, which was well suited for building, was mined in the quarry. The origin of the reed sandstone is explained by geologists with a large river system, which flowed through Europe more than 200 million years ago and flowed to a primordial sea in today's Alpine region. One of the arms of the river flowed along the edge of the Schönbuch, where Pfaffenberg and Heuberg are today. Several information signs are set up. It's definitely worth a visit 🤩👍🤩👍

The romantic body of water in a small forest area owes its origin to a quarry that existed here until 40 years ago.
