North-south dam of the former Witznitz II open-cast mine

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

It's great what has emerged from the open-cast mine landscape. The lake is reflected in the sun in a beautiful turquoise color. Most of the paths are paved - nice for cyclists or inline skaters.

There was still a bit of activity at Hainer See. I had Kahnsdorfer See to myself. In an orchard, I found a few apples to take home.
