The watercress ponds are a sight of the place . Water seeps from the Hörsel through the Hörselberge and emerges from numerous springs in the Nessetal. Its constant temperature of 8 to 10 ° C made it possible to create the ponds and cultivate watercress. The ponds were used intensively until around 1970. After that, the water quality deteriorated and the ponds silted up. The cultivation of watercress was abandoned. The water quality has improved again since 1990 and the reconstruction of a pond has started. The private owners have carried out extensive work on the ponds in recent years to enable the watercress to be grown again. There is a hydropower plant on the Nesse. The local church is also worth seeing .
