Frau-Holle-Teich, Natural monument lake in Hoher Meißner, Germany.
Frau-Holle-Teich is a lake situated on the Hohen Meissner in Hesse, located within a natural basin and surrounded by thick forest vegetation. Clear water and forested surroundings create an enclosed landscape within the Meissner-Kaufunger Wald Nature Park.
The lake formed through natural geological processes in a depression sealed by clay layers. Over time, the site received protection as a natural monument to preserve this distinct landform.
The name references Frau Holle from the Brothers Grimm fairy tales, showing how nature and folklore become intertwined in this region. Visitors often connect the lake to these stories and search for traces of this legendary figure.
The lake is reachable via a marked hiking trail accessible from several directions. Proper footwear and appropriate clothing for woodland walks are recommended, as the path traverses natural terrain.
The water is fed by natural springs, which maintains the constant clarity of the lake. This steady water supply makes it a valuable ecosystem that has remained largely unchanged across generations.
