Heron Lake

Highlight • Lake

A small forest lake with water lilies, dragonflies and a fairly new shelter - so if that's not a perfect resting place, I don't know what is.

Fresh air round at the Hansewiese parking lot to the Heron Lake. At -5° and fog, the forest is enchanted with its white beauty.
One hour was enough in the wet, cold air 🤷‍♀️🥶

This afternoon, I finally hone my inner couch potato and headed out into the snow.

From the free parking lot on the main road between Schwannheim and Neunkirchen, I headed into the woods 🌲🌲🌲.

I enjoyed the beautiful snow-covered forest paths towards Reihersee (Heron Lake).

We saw it frozen over for the first time today.

It was already very windy with sometimes strong gusts, but not so much that I would have thought it sensible that it wouldn't be safe there in the forest. We also met a few other people

Today, for the first time in 2025, I went for a short run around Reihersee. My treatment for plantar warts is not yet complete and my wife couldn't run the whole way with me. But at least a start has been made.

Today I said hello to the Heron Lake again. @Anke 🤗 The lake is currently being drained, beautiful little Kröselbach waterfall, I didn't run down it in the fog today but as a tip for an excursion the next two or three days then the lake will be back to normal level

Just wanted to see if the Reihersee is frozen over... and it is.
A few more pictures of the beautiful white before it starts to rain and get warmer according to the weather report.
