Horstsee is one of the Wermsdorf ponds

Together with the Döllnitzsee and Göttwitzsee dams, it is part of the large Wermsdorf ponds. The Horstsee is the oldest of these facilities. The name of the dam comes from a striking island in the middle of the pond, which was previously called "Horst". Even today, the Horstsee is mainly used for fishing. It was created as a fish pond in 1500 and has been state-owned since 1580. The dam has two earthen dams. The Saubach, a second order water body, is dammed. The dam's storage volume is around 1.4 million cubic meters. Source:https://www.wasserwirtschaft.sachsen.de/TS_Horstsee.html

In summer it's a bit overgrown with blackberries and nettles. But it's still a nice place. The downhill part is very steep but it's really fun to ride. The uphill part is fun too.

The Horstsee is a lake near Mutzschen (Saxony). The lake can be reached from the surrounding towns of Wermsdorf (about 2 km from the lake), Nerchau (8 km away) and Kühren-Burkartshain (about 8 km away). The Horstsee is located in the catchment area of Wermsdorf, which is around 2 kilometers from the lake. We currently have no information on tourist offers or access to this lake. You are welcome to send us further information about the See-Melder! Source: https://www.seen.de/horstsee/

Please be careful! A Soll (neuter: Das Soll, erroneously written Söll because of the plural form Söll, from the Low German Sol) is a in Upper Pleistocene landscapes - especially in the north-eastern German lowlands (Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Brandenburg, Ostholstein, Prussia), but probably also in the foothills of the Alps – Occurring, mostly round small bodies of water.[1] Söll are located within mostly funnel-like terrain hollow forms. They are typical of ground moraines but can also occur in other landscapes of the Glacial Series. They are among the standing waters and usually have no surface inflow and outflow. Intermittent drying out, especially in the summer months, is typical for many pools. Since the late Pleistocene landscapes, for example in north-eastern Germany, are intensively farmed due to their fertile soil, pools are often highly endangered in their continued existence as a biotope and geotope. Field use usually takes place without a buffering protective strip right up to the edge of the hollow mould. The plentiful supply of nutrients from intensive agriculture changes the composition of the plant world within the target. Nutrient-loving, high-biomass species of reeds and tall forbs (bulrushes, nettles, etc.) are spreading at the expense of less competitive plants. Signs of silting up and siltation can often be observed due to eutrophication. Algae blooms lead to oxygen depletion and to a "tipping over" of the water chemistry. In the course of melioration, Sölle were completely leveled and plowed up in the past. Because of the compacted subsoil, however, such areas still tend to become waterlogged and do not allow regulated farming. In state nature protection laws (e.g. Brandenburg), ponds belong to the per se protected biotope types (§ 32 Para. 1 No. 1 BbgNatSchG) in the group of small bodies of water if they are not larger than one hectare including the riparian vegetation and constantly carry water. Typical plants of the ponds are reeds, small duckweed, common water buttercup, poison buttercup, floating pondweed, yellow water lily, white water lily, water knotweed, narrow-leaved and broad-leaved bulrush. Significant animal species, especially the slightly larger Sölle, are among the birds little grebe, red-necked grebe, marsh harrier, water rail and moorhen, reptiles the grass snake, amphibians also occur regularly, e.g. B. the pond frog. For numerous species of amphibians, smaller pools or those with more strongly fluctuating water levels are of greater importance (e.g. for the common frog, moor frog, common spadefoot toad, tree frog, fire-bellied toad and crested newt). An important reason for this is that natural predators of tadpoles, especially fish, are less common here, and therefore reproductive success is generally greater.
