So beautiful and so peaceful. It looks like a painting. All those trees in the background, such a beautiful green. An oasis.

Beautiful peat bog, reminds me of Scotland, where you often walk on granite peat. It vibrates under your feet. Two photos show my stick with the tip of it in it, and also all the way in. The peat is quite thick here. Beautiful vegetation, and lizards can be seen too.

The raised bog is a wonderfully tranquil place. One path leads along the moor to the south, another from the northeast a few meters into the bog. Depending on the angle of the light, the otherwise green moor grass shimmers red. Unfortunately, there is no bench here—it would probably sink—but even standing here, you can enjoy a break and let your gaze wander over the moor.

Leave early enough as there can be a lot of people around the lake and little wind in hot weather.
