    The Donatussee belongs to the Villeseen area in the Rhineland Nature Park and is the deepest of all Villeseen. The chain of villas was created from the remaining holes in the open-cast brown coal mine. The lake got its name after the Donatus pit.

        Unfortunately, it was cloudy today, so the lake wasn't very photogenic. But it's still nice to linger here.
