    Hiking

    In 2009 and 2012 it was the last time that the Maschsee was frozen over and allowed to enter. Playing ice hockey, ice skating, ice disco, mulled wine stands, strolling all over the place.

It should thaw in the coming week, then the last hopes for dances on the ice for this year will disappear.
