The lake was created by local gravel extraction starting in 1922. It covers an area of approximately 70 hectares with a maximum depth of twelve meters. The lake is surrounded by large pine and mixed forests, including the Schweinert nature reserve, which contains one of the largest Bronze Age burial mound fields in Europe.

It is located in the Kiebitz district and, together with a campsite, forms the "Kiebitz" recreational area.

Quick visit: 2 houses have been renovated to perfection, but some work still needs to be done.👍

The railway museum at Falkenberg/Elster station takes visitors back in history. Exhibits include model railways, signal boxes, Reichsbahn uniforms, many pictures, old carriages and a collection of historic telephones. Anyone who wants to can get a ticket from Calau to Leipzig worth 5 marks from the old ticket printer.

Falkenberg (Elster) station is one of the largest stations in the state of Brandenburg. Railway lines run from the station in seven directions. It is built as a tower station, with the lines on both levels connected by several connecting curves. There are large shunting facilities in both the upper and lower parts of the station.

I did see the classic locomotive, but unfortunately there wasn't much more there. It was pretty lonely there. I would only recommend a visit when the actual museum is open.

Unfortunately, you can't walk all the way around it, as there is no way to go any further on the other side of the lake (from Frankenberg/Elster). But you can still see a lot of the beautiful lake.
