Very nice seaside resort with a section of beach and lots of play opportunities. Ideal for families with children. Large parking lot, but subject to a charge.

So it's Ullrich's Pond. But it has nothing to do with the former grinding mill (which one is that? There are, or were, several in HoMi). There used to be the Ullrich wood and furniture factory on Pipping (the house is still standing, now a half-timbered house converted into a residential building), which used the reservoir to generate electricity. How do I know this: My in-laws have lived here since time immemorial; the older ones still remember it; the grinding mill (one of the former ones) is family-owned. You can also read about it online, for example, here: https://www.naturpark-solling-vogler.de/index.php/mittelgebirgsbach.html

A very special place in the most beautiful nature. With a stream, pond, small waterfalls, sun lounger, picnic area and sometimes a lot of mudder 😉

The port is the "heart and center of the city" - the baroque port with lock directly in the historic old town of Bad Karlshafen! In 2019, the historic harbor was reopened for shipping and can be navigated from the Weser via a new lock. This reconnection was funded with 5.5 million euros by the Federal Republic of Germany as a "national urban development project". As a water tourism highlight, the harbor is available for smaller yachts, sports boats and canoes. Let yourself be smuggled into the historic harbor basin of Bad Karlshafen from the Weser and enjoy the Mediterranean flair of the city center from the water. The port is usable for boats with a maximum length of up to 12 meters and a maximum width of 6 meters and a draft of maximum 80 cm; Total vehicle height including draft at water level 95.16 m above sea level. NN in the tailwater of the lock 5.2 m.
