Just a path... It is still maintained (well, trimmed and everything just left lying on the path - I cleared it today 🙈) and is probably mainly used by cyclists.

The best water I've ever drunk! I get water there regularly and love the area for hiking. It recently says 'Not drinking water'. 😂😂😂 The water is pure, clear and refreshing and I recommend everyone to drink it!

This part of the Hessenweg #1 winds as a narrow path through the forest - that's how hikers love it

I've seen many quarry lakes, but the Diabassee and the adjacent "Steinbruch Kohlenacker" nature reserve were a truly enchanting spot in the February sun. It invites you to linger and relax. A beautiful, romantic place of longing.
