Ritterstein No. 279: Mittlere Isenach Forester’s House – Mattern Hut
Highlight • Monument
The "Matternshütte" (= house of Heinz Mattern) stood here around 1794, then the Middle Isenach forester's house from 1822. "In 1836, the forester Heene lived here. See knight stone no. 276. After Heene, the forester Götz also lived [here], who moved to the Lower Isenach forester's house [= Isenach forester's house] by the pond in 1865. The house on the Middle Isenach was demolished in 1871."

Wooden Bridge Over the Isenach

From here (back to the Isenach pond) you have the choice: either to walk on the wide forestry path or on a nice, soft forest path along the Isenach.

Beaver information board at Isenachweiher
Highlight • Structure
"In the early summer of 2017, the presence of a beaver at the Isenachweiher was determined for the first time on the basis of traces of feeding. A short time later, the beaver castle was built in the immediate vicinity of the bank as a visible sign of the permanent settlement of this strictly protected animal species."
Please note: There are warning signs around the lake: "Risk of tree and branch breakage due to beaver damage"!
