アンダーナッハの湖・トップ20

Very nice corner - especially the many benches invite you to relax and look over the lake.

A beautiful place to rest and watch the wildlife. This time we were able to observe two pairs of great crested grebes. Simply a place for the soul.

A beautiful biotope and a wonderful place for a break.

Even experts are puzzled about the geological formation of the Rodder Maare. It is certainly not of volcanic origin, so it is not a maar. Because of its circular shape, it could have been formed by a meteorite impact. What is certain is that the Rodder Maar has experienced an interplay of irrigation and drainage, agricultural and forestry use in the course of its history. For a long time it served as a fish pond for the Lordship of Olbrück. During times of need in the 19th century it was drained to grow crops. However, the constantly damp clay soil was neither suitable for arable farming nor for fodder production. Most recently, in the early 1960s, water-draining spruces were planted and the maar was drained. These efforts had not paid off. Source: http://www.ostiefel-aktiv.de/40848/41919.html

very nice body of water with aquatic plants and frogs

Here you can listen to the ducks chattering on the lake - unfortunately, the background noise of the nearby motorway is a bit annoying

There are several benches on the riverside path with a view of the lake and invite you to take a break.
