According to the explanations, the name "Alter See" is based on an old legend. "A long time ago there was said to have been a large lake in front of the Glaubitzer Busche. On the bank there was a beautiful count's castle, in which the count lived with his daughter. The count's wife died when he was young and he has kept his beard ever since grow, which the daughter had to take care of. One day when she was impatiently ruffling her beard, he is said to have stabbed her. Then a storm arose and the castle sank into the lake. Now the Count sits in the depths, but every 100 years the Count's daughter rises up, the born on the night of the murder and at the same time a Sunday child and wants to redeem her. Good luck (:-)
The ecological rehabilitation of the Old Lake on the edge of the Glaubitz Forest is taking longer. Three months were originally planned for this. And it might be more expensive too.
