From the "Forsthaus" inn, you have a beautiful view over the Great Bishop's Pond (Dechsendorfer Weiher), and in good weather, you can even enjoy a beautiful sunset over the pond. In summer, the "Forsthaus" hosts wonderful events on Thursdays with live music and, for example, "barbecue, all you can eat," etc.

The small Wied Pond in Tennlohe is a small, idyllic spot and part of the local sculpture park. Dieter Erhard's "Ferryman" is also very beautiful. The boat stands at the edge of the pond and, due to the low water level, appears to float above the surface.
