Birdwatching Hut at Weihnachtssee

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The course of the Rotbach is particularly affected by subsidence. Again and again, seams collapse deep under the river and on the surface small ponds, ponds and lakes are formed.

The Christmas lake arose in this way in the year 2002. On the Christmas days, the earth slipped off, the Rotbach stepped over its shore and filled the pit. Meanwhile, nature has brought back the place and the Christmas lake is protected as a natural biotope.

Pfingstsee (Whitsun Lake)

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

Also this lake is owed to the mining. The seams in the subsurface can be thought of slowly and there are always such depressions. It's just good that nature is stronger than humans. Here a little stream meandered a few years ago.

We feel a special connection to some places. But what does that actually mean? And how does such a relationship differ from one with a person?

Wheel of Fortune Exercise: Inner Developmental Goals 3 - RELATIONSHIP

As humans, we are born in need of help. Other living beings are capable of survival from birth; we depend on other people to feed us or protect us from cold and heat. And we organize the world so that it benefits and protects us. The fact that we are social, intelligent, and adaptable beings is our recipe for success.

Living together is (not) a stroke of luck. Look for examples from your own life where this coexistence works well. And consider how the attitudes and feelings below contribute to this.

(1) Appreciation
Approach others and the world with a fundamental sense of appreciation, gratitude, and joy.
(2) Connectedness
A strong sense of being connected to or part of a larger whole, such as a community, humanity, or a global ecosystem.
(3) Humility
Being able to act in accordance with the needs of the situation without concern for one's own importance.
(4) Empathy and Compassion
The ability to treat others, oneself, and nature with kindness, empathy, and compassion, and to cope with the associated suffering.
