Plotting is a community in Thuringian Saale-Orla-Kreis and the main town of the lake area Plothen ponds.
background
The Plothener ponds are artificially created by monks. The pond landscape with a size of approx. 75 km² lies on a plateau of the Thuringian Slate Mountains at an altitude of 480 to 500 m. There are still around 600 of the former 2,000 ponds from the 11th / 12th. Century left, which were created by Benedictine monks for fish farming. The ponds were used to supply the monasteries with fresh fish. They are connected to a ditch system and are not fed by spring water, but filled up by rainfall, hence the name Sky ponds.
