Tips from the Community
Very idyllically situated, a beautiful sight. A lovely, ecologically valuable piece of nature in a beautiful landscape. A beautiful biotope, a real eye-catcher. There's a bench by the pond where you can take a break. Nature! Green duckweed is not algae and is not harmful to the pond. In fact, it indicates that everything has been done correctly in the maintenance of this village pond and that the pond is in biological balance. Duckweed is also known as duck grass because it is a favorite food of ducks and other waterfowl.

Nature! Green duckweed is not algae and is not harmful to the pond. It even indicates that everything has been done correctly in the care of this village pond and that the pond is in biological balance. Duckweed is also known as duckweed because ducks and other water birds like to eat it. A wonderful experience for nature lovers!!

Now it's no longer an eye-catcher, everything is covered in green algae. Just a big green patch.

The Kyritzer lido on the Untersee is idyllically hidden in the middle of an area rich in forests and water. For those who want to avoid the hustle and bustle in the cool water, the boat rental offers an alternative with a small boat trip along the Kyritzer lake chain
