The Grünwiesenweiher is a delight, especially in autumn with the colorful foliage. 😁 You'd think you were experiencing Indian Summer in the USA or Canada. 🍁

The Grünwiesenweiher in Neu-Anspach is one of the few larger water areas in the Taunus with a size of approx. 1.3 ha. For geological reasons, there are hardly any natural lakes in the Taunus. The Grünwiesenweiher was artificially created in the 18th century and served as a water reservoir for mills and as a fishing ground. In the 1940s and 1950s, the pond was also used as a bathing lake. At that time, a quarry stone wall was built on the east bank for fortification. At that time there was also a bathing jetty and a barbecue hut. Unfortunately, the body of water regularly tipped over due to the low water exchange. Unfortunately, swimming is therefore prohibited today. The pond is under nature protection. Despite the bathing ban, the Grünwiesenweiher is an idyllic, inviting place. In summer sunbathers cavort here on the east bank and there is always a place for a cozy picnic under the shady trees.

The Bärenspruce pond is fed by the Weil. With a lot of pressure, the water rushed out of the pond through the weir into the Weil stream as a small waterfall.
