On 03.05.26, I found no viewpoint and no access to the open-cast mine area at this location. A little further south (spur from Jenschwalde Ost), the registered viewpoint might have been there, but it was forbidden to enter the area. Unfortunately, we made the detour from our route in vain.

As of August 2025: the road is paved with crushed stone. This promises to be another great gravel road in the area.

If you let your gaze wander, raise your head, and lose track of time, you will find at the Krayner Ponds what you long to seek in big cities: a piece of tranquility. Here, where the water spreads beneath the sky like an open book, your thoughts begin to wander – just like your feet following this path. The ponds themselves lie silently, framed by forests that stand on the banks like ancient sentinels. Sometimes, light aisles open up, through which the light dances, sometimes the forest embraces you with its green shadows. The rustling of the wind in the trees, the gentle gurgling of the water, the distant chirping of a jay – all this becomes the soundtrack of this hike. Those who hike here quickly notice: the pace slows down, the view becomes more precise. Every step on the soft forest floor becomes a promise, every view of the lakeshore a small revelation. Especially at the junction of the ponds – where the water surface tapers and the reeds line the path like a natural curtain on both sides – you almost feel like you're stepping into a painting. And then there's that moment when, between two branches, the view opens onto the water, calm, dark, mysterious. A stage for reflections, for plays of light, for thoughts that go deeper than usual.
