Black Pond (Carlsfeld)
The Black Pond was a body of water directly on the German-Czech border in the Ore Mountains .
Geographical location
The Black Pond, also known as the Pyrenteich, is 1 kilometer southwest of the Großer Kranichsee near Carlsfeld . The Schwerdt and Kammweg leads past the pond.
history
The pond has been without water for decades, but due to its damp subsoil and its proximity to the high moor it serves as the headwaters of the Great Pyra and the Seerbächel. Immediately at the Black Pond there was a refuge for the respective forester until after the end of the Second World War.
As a result of the border swap with Czechoslovakia in the 1930s, the new border between Saxony (formerly the Voigtsberg near Oelsnitz (Vogtland) office ) and today's Czech Republic was laid right next to the Black Pond; previously, the border ran just a hundred meters further south and east past the pond .
