Here, a wooden bench invites you to briefly dismount your bike and admire the forest pond. The three Weißenborn Forest Park ponds were created over 100 years ago.

https://www.koberbachtalsperre.de/ Ideal short circular hike around the Koberbach Dam with children. Circular route approximately 4.3 km. You can also walk around the fore-dam of the Koberbach Dam. The Koberbach Dam is a dam in the northwest of the Zwickau district in the Free State of Saxony. It was built to supply industrial water to the towns of Neukirchen and Crimmitschau and today serves exclusively for flood protection and recreation. Great for relaxation, hiking, picnicking, swimming, and fishing. There's even a drive-in cinema directly across from the Koberbach Dam.

Around 1900, the three Weißenborn Forest Park ponds were created in connection with the expansion and beautification of the city forest. Initially, they were used for fish farming. With increasing shading due to forest growth, this use proved unprofitable and declined in importance. Today, the ponds are an important habitat for many animal and plant species. With the numerous recreational facilities along their banks, they offer many opportunities for local recreation.
