Highlight • Natural Monument

Small spring with wood barrel, which should point the way to the water. 50 m away there is another place with a funny stone table.

Mighty bridge - high above the northern Eiswoog - the access to the bridge is blocked to the fences, which is certainly good, but I would have been interested in how the view from the top down to the Eiswoog.

Highlight • Historical Site

This is the site of a historic court. Here was probably spoken in the Middle Ages under the Counts of Leiningen law. There were probably 9 chairs symbolized by the smaller stones, which are provided with place names.

Billes Pond

Highlight • Lake

An idyllic pond with places to rest, but only outdoors, there is no shelter here.
The name "Billesweiher" is derived from the medieval first name Billung, which was particularly common among families of knights. The Billesweiher is surrounded by a species-poor beech cornmeal mixed forest. The water surface is lined by a more or less pronounced silting up zone. Two amphibian tunnels are built through the dam. Both the reed belt in the north and the alder fragments in the east and the silted-up zone in the inlet area are breeding and feeding areas for various bird species and spawning grounds for amphibians.
