The monastery pond , also called Horbacher See , is a small lake in the southern Black Forest between St. Blasien and Dachsberg near Horbach in the Waldshut district . It lies in a coffin and was dammed up as a fish pond for the St. Blasien monastery for the fasting fish it needed . This use has been documented since the 18th century. The pond, which had since fallen into disrepair and was muddy, was dammed again in 1952 by an embankment. A small silted up part of the lake is part of the Friedrich-August-Grube nature reserve . The monastery pond is a late Ice Age relic as a result of the retreat of the Feldberg glacier from the Dachsberg.
A few hundred meters to the north is the Horbacher Moor nature reserve .
