Beautiful lake! The path is a bit rooty for a normal bike. But still easy to ride...

Usually a quiet and idyllic place. Today, however, there was something like a "mini tornado", otherwise I can not explain the sudden wind and the turbulence on the water.

Several of my tours, where I want to avoid the main road, lead along this small lake. The path is sandy and a bit bumpy.

That's great for me because it's an area where I spent my childhood and youth. I planned the tour with a city map before I got to know tour planning with Komoot. On the first tours that I recorded, it was the tour with the greatest difference in altitude: 50 m. Anyone who follows me knows that I have recorded 900 tours in the meantime and the greatest difference in altitude is over 400 m on a tour at Gut Deutsch Nienhof.

In 1643 there was a dyke breach during a storm surge, which resulted in this small pond. It becomes very clear what kind of power water can develop.

Natural monument "Kuhle" At the end of the "Kuhle" district, it is worth taking a look at a natural monument - a so-called Brake. The street was named after her. Here shows an inscription carved in stone "Int Johr 1643 de Diek broken" is the reason why this "hollow" was created. The water is on private property.
