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. ;-)

I spent my first night of my bike tour along the bike route of the megalithic culture at the campsite right on the lake and was able to enjoy a wonderful sunset at the dog beach in the evening, while Einstein had his fun in the water there. I was lucky that three large swarms of starlings were out and about circling each other 😍 A wonderful spectacle. By the way, when such a swarm suddenly starts next door in the bush, it sounds like a starting car 😮

Sonnensee...🌅the name is absolutely fitting. Very idyllic, sunny and very beautiful. It's worth taking a detour there.

Nice quiet place to switch off

A beautiful lake for a walk or as an oasis to rest.

A bit hidden in the small village of Bissen, but great. The dangling along or around the Sonnensee is definitely worth it.
