The Katjasee is an artificial lake in a former opencast mine near Frankfurt (Oder) and Groß Lindow. Like the Helenesee, it is located in the "Former Finkenheerd mine site" conservation area. There are paths around the lake, ideal for hiking.

March 18, 2023,Spaziergang um den Helenesee & Katjasee

Today, in frosty -3 degrees, we did a lovely walk around Helenesee and Katjasee.

Even the sun 🌞 smiled at us and I really enjoyed it. Pure nature in wonderfully clear air. Highly recommended👍

Thanks to my two companions, it was a great trip.

Now we are ready for the Mammoth March in Leipzig.🤗

Today, after a very long time, we went around Helenesee and Katjasee. We started at the Waldschänke.
The Helenesee is still closed because of the landslide a few years ago, which also caused a lot of things to fall down at the facility, which is a shame when you look at it like that.
The route itself is very beautiful, …
