    Actually a nice place, unfortunately right on the street. But a great photo motif at the beginning of the themed hiking trail "what was really true"

    Translated by Google •

      It was frozen this year
      no firm ice yet
      The boy stands by the pond
      and speaks to himself very softly:
      “I want to dare to do it once
      the ice, it has to carry
      Who knows? "


      The boy trudges and chops
      with his boot leg
      The ice suddenly cracks
      and crash! it's already breaking in.
      The boy splashes and crawls
      than like a cancer and wriggles
      with arm and leg


      “Oh help, I have to sink
      in ice and snow
      Oh help, I'm drowning
      in the deep, deep lake "
      If a man had not come -
      who took a heart
      Oh dear!


      He grabs it by the head
      and then pulls it out
      from foot to head
      like a water mouse
      The boy has dripped
      the father knocked
      at home

        Thank you, Susi and Bettina, for reminding me of the poem! It fits this pond perfectly!
