Luxhohl, Still waters in Egelsbach, Germany

The Luxhohl is a circular pond with a diameter of 50 meters and a surface area of 0.2 hectares in the forested region of Egelsbach.

The area surrounding Luxhohl previously contained 33 ammunition bunkers and military structures from the US Army during the Cold War period.

The transformation of the former military site into natural woodland represents the shift from defense infrastructure to environmental preservation in modern Germany.

Visitors can access the pond through maintained paths within the 103-hectare area between the B486 road and the forest lake.

The pond, which was once nearly silted up, now serves as a habitat for various amphibian species including grass frogs and green frogs.
