The lost place was on a western spur of the Limpurger Mountains about 1.4 km east-southeast of the center of the village of Michelbach. Today a forest path section of the Main-Neckar-Rhein-Weg, marked with a green tree, leads past the former settlement area on its stage between Einkorn and Michelbach- Hirschfelden . The surrounding forest is also called Kohlhäu .

history

The Kohlhäu single farm was not built until the 18th century. In 1852 it was "surrounded by forest", belonged to the class, had 6 residents and was the residence of a princely forest rifleman.
