    The Frankensee is a sand pit still in operation. Still pretty nice to look at.

      Water as far as the eye can see: In the quadrangle between Boke, Anreppen, Sande, and Bentfeld, there are various quarry ponds where sand and gravel are excavated. The soil contains not only valuable resources, but also secrets: A flood here revealed traces of the past. The soil contains not only valuable resources, but also secrets: A flood here revealed traces of the past.
      In the clay soil eroded by the water and the underlying peat lens, archaeologists found, among other things, ceramic shards, wood remains, and burnt animal bone fragments. The researchers were able to date the finds to the time around the birth of Christ. There may be a connection to the nearby Roman camp of Anreppen. What is certain is that animals were once cremated here. However, the significance of the area in antiquity remains unclear. Those interested can learn about the excavations around Lake Franke and Lake Rath and enjoy the view over the water. wasser-wege-winkel.de/orte/kiesabgrabungen-frankensee-und-rathsee
