Left to stay fit and to go swimming. That's why no pictures today. There are many places where you can go to the water but often very small and partly dirty with garbage. If people would take their rubbish with them again, so Others can also enjoy some nature.

When we visited relatives in Leipzig during the GDR era, before the A71 and A38 motorways existed, the journey always took us past Kulkwitz Lake, where the steamer MS Frieda was parked.
I've always wanted to visit it again. 😎 Afterward, a short stop at what was once the largest cotton mill in Europe.
