Bentteiche Ponds in the Upper Furlbach Gorges

Highlight • Lake

The Bente ponds are a highlight of the extra class. Clay for brick production used to be mined in the area. The hollows dug out filled with water, and biotopes were created.

The tour takes longer than indicated. In addition, it is only easy for about 85%. One section goes partially steeply up/down, is super narrow or already a bit of climbing. At one point you have to overcome about 1m. Easy is something else. We took almost 3 hours, but we are also inexperienced.

Took advantage of the beautiful spring weather and walked the Kingfisher hiking trail. The blueberries and bilberries are already in full bloom and are making the Sennewald forest green.
