ロッテの湖・トップ20

Cheated: Rubben are an amphibious freshwater fish species related to coelacanths that only survived the great extinction of the sauropsids at the beginning of the Cretaceous period in a few so-called Bruchsee lakes in central and northern Europe. This was possible due to the special acidic conditions of the so-called Bruchsee lakes created by forest breakage. Due to their amphibious characteristics, Rubben are able to survive for a long time outside of the water and their habitat. As an omniform species, they are able to suck out all possible sources of food, living or dead, with their strong sucking mouths, which is why only pedal boating is recommended here in the Rubbenbruchsee, not swimming. ;-)

Unfortunately, the canyon does not come into its own as beautifully as here in the photos. Unfortunately, it is not worth setting this as a destination, since there are no seating options either. Of course it's a nice change from the forest, but we expected more from the canyon.

Unique views of the clear waters of the canyon

Nice mystical atmosphere especially early in the morning, with fog over the ponds...

The origin as a quarry is (unfortunately) clearly recognizable. But at least one of the nicer sights of mining in the region and nature is reclaiming the area bit by bit. The view from the vantage point is beautiful, but it doesn't make you forget how it could be here, if you hadn't first intervened heavily in nature.

Here the hiking trail leads along between the lakes - especially early in the morning when the first sun comes over the hills, very beautiful.

Beautifully situated fish ponds in the south of Tecklenburg

Due to the high lime content, the water is crystal clear and turquoise in color. This effect is enhanced in the sunshine. A real eye-catcher!
