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"

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

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