history
The Montjola ponds were laid out in 1837 for the operation of the spinning and weaving mill founded by John Douglass and partners . The ponds were dredged in the 1980s.
In 2016, the Montjola-Weiher II was renovated and redesigned for around 250,000 euros and the infrastructure slightly expanded. At the same time, a "historical adventure and educational trail" was set up, in which the long history of the use of hydropower for industry in Thuringia is illustrated. A significant part of the costs was funded by the European Union's LEADER program of measures .
Geography / topography
The Montjola ponds are about 400 m north of the center of Thuringia. The ponds are primarily fed by and flowed through by the Schwarzbach. From the Schlosstobel (brook) there is another approx. 1.1 km long water passage. The runoff takes place via the Montjola waterfall (Schwarzbach) and a pressure pipe into the Schwarzbach power plant .
The ponds are at the northern end of the populated area of Thuringia. It is around 15 km as the crow flies to the city center of Feldkirch and around 35 km to Lake Constance .
use
The Montjola ponds were created in Thuringia in 1837 for the use of water power for the textile industry. In addition, the Montjola ponds have been a popular excursion destination and local recreation area since then.
