Still a bit of a desolate area, but once everything here is designed and everything is green, you can definitely experience pure nature here.

Why is "nature" crossed out on the entrance sign? I can't find anything about this 🤷🏽‍♂️

Has "German law" struck here? Isn't it about "uniform maintenance and development"? And no …

June 7, 2024,Iron Lake Challenge Brandenburg- See 26 - Klinger See

Even though we are on the Oder-Neisse cycle path on our big tour, I still want to go hiking now and then. What could be more natural than adding another lake to the Iron Lake Challenge? Today is the opportunity: Klinger Lake is practically next to the cycle path. And so I start another circuit around a flooded lake in …

Easter walk in the family with wife and "child" and dog.
Lake Klinger has been on my agenda for a long time, and given the length of the route and the distance from home, it made for a leisurely Easter walk.
Klinger See is also an opencast mining hole. The lake has been flooded since 2000. The current picture is …

It is a remnant of the Jänschwalde open-cast lignite mine.

Although a feeder channel is under construction on the western side of the lake, it is currently fed exclusively by groundwater and rainwater. It is scheduled to reach its target water level by 2030.

... it was supposed to be a rather 'exotic' hike for me this year, and since the weather forecast predicted a low probability of fog in the extreme southeast of Brandenburg, I set off on this long-planned circular tour around the Klinger Lake, which is actually the water-filled 'southern edge tube' of the former Jänschwalde brown coal opencast mine. The …

March 15, 2025,Klinge Bhf. - um den Klinger See mit Landschaftsbrutalismus

Since I wanted to hike in the sun today, I headed south toward the sun and decided to follow the route from @Frank Meyer around Klinger Lake. The entire route leads through renaturalized mining areas. A worthwhile tour if you expect a lunar landscape.
