Montjola Pond
Highlight • Lake
The Montjola ponds were created in 1837 for the use of water power for the textile industry in Thüringen. Since then, the Montjola ponds have also been a popular destination for excursions and a local recreation area.
The Montjola ponds (also: Montjola-See or Montiola-Weiher, 686 m above sea level) are located on the Quadern plateau in the municipality of Thüringen.
The Montjola ponds were created in 1837 for the operation of the spinning and weaving mill founded by John Douglass and partners. In the 1980s, the ponds were dredged.
In 2016, Montjola-Weiher II was renovated and redesigned for approximately 250,000 euros[2], and the infrastructure was slightly expanded.[3][4] At the same time, a "Historical Experience and Educational Trail" was established, illustrating the long history of water power utilization for industry in Thüringen. A significant portion of the costs was funded through the LEADER action program of the European Union.
In 2024, to relieve the ponds and as flood protection, a tunnel approximately 700 meters long was laid using the Micromining method, which diverts the excess water of the Schwarzbach through the Schlosstobel into the Lutz. In the spring of 2025, the planting of the renatured pond took place with the participation of students from the Thüringen elementary school.
