ゼーシュターミューエの湖・トップ20

I passed by this place on my tour: https://www.komoot.com/de-de/tour/2573083399 I hope the link works. I know the lake as the Glinde outdoor swimming pool. I've swum there occasionally. The picture I've attached was taken from the fence.

A very nice campsite is located here on Krautsand. Just over the dike and you're already at the Elbe River and the beautiful Krautsand beach. There's also a dog beach and a lifeguard on duty during the summer months. A small children's playground and a bistro are available. A large parking area, toilet facilities, and an open-air shower are also provided.

A hike here in the fall is also very beautiful and highly recommended 👍. When the sun shines, nature 💚 is beautifully reflected in the water.

Horstsee in Stade, Lower Saxony, was formed by a former clay pit on the edge of the Hohentorsvorstadt district of Stade. The walled-up tunnel at Horstsee, which formerly led to the Aktien-Ziegelei Horst (March 2008), Stade, Lower Saxony. The coordinates are: 53° 35′ 39″ N, 9° 27′ 42″ E Elevation above sea level: 6 m above sea level Area: 3.75 ha Maximum depth: 9 m Average depth: 4–5 m The volume of the lake roughly corresponds to the total water volume of the Oberschwinge. The average depth in the western part is approximately 4 to 5 meters. In the eastern part, the lake is up to approximately 9 meters deep. The surface area is approximately 3.75 hectares. A 640-meter-long, hilly hiking trail runs around the lake, offering many magnificent views of the lake and the surrounding countryside. There are plenty of places to sit and relax and enjoy the scenery. Back when there was a real winter, we could even ice skate here.

I passed through here on August 1, 1925, on my "Heist Airport" tour. The nature reserve is beautiful and also has muddy paths.

The natural pool is operated by a support association, which makes admission completely free. Parking is also free. That's a huge plus! The water quality is regularly monitored and is excellent according to Seen.de. It's described as "natural bathing fun in a beautiful landscape," with idyllic views (e.g., cows on the opposite bank) and is uncrowded.

A great little hike around Horstsee. It can be extended through the Stade meadows.
