The pond can be reached via marked walking and cycling trails that wind through the forest and are easy to follow. The best time to visit is from spring through autumn, when paths are dry and the woodland is in full activity.
The water body is also known as Eisteich and is part of the Geo-Nature Park Bergstraße-Odenwald, a protected area with notable geological and natural features. Its alternate name stems from historical use as an ice storage reservoir during cold months.
