February 4, 2023,04.02.2023 Ferropolis - Gremminer See

A recommended round, manageable for everyone and paved. I don't really prefer it, but ok in wet weather and mud 👍 or for cycling.
Marvel at interesting and creative art at the end of the round. If you like, you can still visit the open-air museum. In summer the lake is definitely well visited, now it was very quiet and …

There was also an art trail along the path there, which, of course, had something to do with …

The lake takes its name from the dredged-over town of Gremmin, a lignite open-cast mine.

The lake is also known as "Ferropolis Lake" because the industrial museum "Ferropolis," the city of iron, is located on its peninsula. Mining history you …

To be honest: the tour is ideal for inline skaters and cyclists (95% asphalt), but only to a limited extent for hikers.

I actually wanted to take a leisurely stroll around and take a look at Ferropolis at my leisure. That was the plan 🙄. Before leaving for Ferropolis, there was an endless traffic jam😖. I decided to park opposite and go on a tour 🚶‍♀️👍. It's good that I had the route, as it gives me more time to explore the …
