The victims of the plague epidemics were buried on the Totenpöhl in the 17th century, from which the Pöhl got its name. Overgrown with a mixed deciduous forest, Pöhl is surrounded by a hedge border typical of the region.

The Hornhübel , also named after its owners, is characterized by its very calcareous diabase rock. The high lime content has no floristic effect due to the predominant growth of spruce. Birds in particular are very species-rich.
