The pond was created 600 years ago as a mining reservoir, making it one of the oldest dams in the Ore Mountains with excellent water quality.
It is subject to the regulations of the EU Directive for Bathing Waters [EU-Badegewässerrichtlinie] and, as such, to permanent quality inspections.
A long sandy beach and a well-maintained lawn are situated on the right and left hand side of the lake.
