Very quiet and pleasant path. If it has rained a lot, it is very muddy, which should be taken into account.

The name Heidesee is derived from the nearby forest area Dölauer Heide, on the southern edge of which the lake lies. After the coal was mined, the mine was closed in 1931. The Heidesee was created due to the rise in groundwater and the flooding of the remaining opencast mine when the mine was closed. It is approx. 800 m long, up to 300 m wide and has a water area of approx. 12.5 hectares. Source:https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heidesee_(Halle)

A worthwhile excursion destination in every season. In summer for swimming (water green but ok), in winter for drinking mulled wine.
