ドランスフェルトの天然記念物・トップ20

The Göttingen Kiessee is a 15-hectare lake on the southwestern outskirts of the city. Formed by gravel mining, it has become one of Göttingen's most important recreational areas. The approximately 2.5-kilometer-long lakeside path is popular with joggers, walkers, and anglers throughout the year. The lake is only one to two meters deep and, as a result, is threatened by algal blooms and accelerated silting. To improve the freshwater supply, an inlet was built in 2003 to divert water from the Leine River, which flows east of the lake, into the lake. From an ecological perspective, however, this measure is completely pointless, as intensive agriculture in the Leine catchment area washes large quantities of fertilizer into the river, and these nutrients further accelerate the silting of the Kiessee. Therefore, the inlet is reduced or even closed, especially in warm early summers. http://stadt-natur-wildnis.de/wild/kiessee-goettingen/

A small battle with a rewarding descent after the work is done

Perfect place for a break, very nice bike paths for all types of bikes nearby

Leash very clean today

just a little faster water

Trips through the Leienauen and the Kiesse area offer interesting things in every season. Migrating and resident waterfowl can often be observed. Considerable cormorant colony.

It's really nice to be standing where Fulda and Werra "kiss" and the Weser is formed. You have an even better overview from the car bridge with bicycle and pedestrian path across the street.

GÖagara falls... Best to visit after a decent rainfall.
