Very beautiful lake. But whether it's "romantic" 😁, romantic, or none of that is - as so often - in the eye of the beholder.

💧 Spring and Pond at the Blaue Halde (Blue Halde) Tucked away in the quiet forest area near the Blaue Halde (Blue Halde) lies this idyllic spot with a clear spring and a small pond. Surrounded by lush greenery and mature trees, the scenery seems almost enchanted – a place to pause and take a deep breath. 💡 Tip: Ideal as a quiet stopover for nature lovers who are off the beaten track. Especially beautiful in the early morning or late afternoon when the light filters through the treetops.

July 2023: little swamp and no ducks. Is then again a special biotope, so marshy and half dried up. Great panorama.
