July 26, 2024,Iron Lake - Cottbuser Ostsee

We circumnavigated the Baltic Sea accompanied by @Cornell Paasche, @Reni and Kerstin LB. Reni came to us by chance because she actually wanted to do the Baltic Sea the day before and Cornell invited her to join us on our tour - and that was a good thing. It just worked and the mood was good despite the sometimes dreary …

May 11, 2024,ILC – BRB 08: Cottbuser Ostsee

8/10: #ironlakechallenge Brandenburg - the last open-cast mining lake on my list. The Cottbus Baltic Sea is still about 1.2m away from reaching its target water level. And you can see everywhere that this is still a work in progress. But I found the lake and the tour all the cooler. Because there are still lots of corners where you …

April 20, 2024,Iron Lake Challenge Brandenburg - See 1 - Cottbuser Ostsee

The weather forecast is not good, or rather nothing sunny, but it is only supposed to rain in the early morning. I wait patiently for that before I set off on the trail at half past ten. In the bike lane - on foot, of course - at the car park near the Merzdorf observation tower on the Baltic Sea. …

In gray weather today, we went around the Baltic Sea... er, THE Baltic Sea. The lake is the largest in Brandenburg and has just been refilled. It's not yet walkable or swimmable. It's still …

Starting at the observation tower, Stadthafen 1, we walked around the lake. Good walkable paths and reasonably good weather without rain were the companions. Finally, we went to the lookout tower, from which you have a beautiful view of the Baltic Sea and Cottbus.

January 9, 2024,ILC BB - 01 Cottbuser Ostsee

Once again the Cottbus Baltic Sea - it's on the agenda at least twice a year. Once there is a relaxed hike and once there is jogging (snowdrop run).
It's always amazing how the lake changes over the years. Already well flooded, we could possibly experience a closed body of water this year.
The constantly rising water level with flooding …
