The Kaltentalweiher wetland was designed in the 1976 nature conservation year as a contribution by the Baden-Württemberg State Forestry Administration to the "Protection of European Wetlands" program and was created between 1977 and 1979. In an elongated oval, the wetland with its natural bays blends harmoniously into the floodplain. Even the main dam is so cleverly hidden in a shallow embankment that it does not disturb the natural landscape. The pond is about 300 meters long and 80 meters wide. Without the small island, its water surface is about 1.1 hectares. Many rare animal species have settled in the wetland. An excellent observation area has been created here for those interested in zoology and biology. Behind the large pond, there is a smaller pond through which the Kaltentalbach stream flows into the large pond. The Kaltentalbach originates from a karst spring, the Kaltentalquelle.

The Kaltentalhäusle is popularly known as „Villa Hügel“. It is reminiscent of the royal forester Philipp Freiherr von Hügel (1812-1887). From 1857-1878, von Hügel was the chief forest official of Urach. He had the Villa Hügel built in 1864. Behind the Kaltentalhäusle, he created a beautiful garden. He named the garden „Marienwahl“. Popular legend says that he had the Villa Hügel and garden built in honor of the king's daughter, Marie Princess von Württemberg (1816-1887). The princess probably visited the forester in Urach quite often. The Villa Hügel, according to popular legend, was likely a romantic love nest for the forester and the king's daughter. The windows of the small half-timbered house are turned away from the path that runs past it. This is also suggested by a separate room, which was probably intended to hide the princess's stately steed.
