November 2, 2024,Dat's - am Nachmittag Plan B 👍🏻 👌🏼 # ne Runde um den See 🤗

... People people people 🤓 today 🙃 in the afternoon the weather improved and so there was still time for a short hike near the hotel, practically on the "doorstep". The Olbersdorfer See was to be it. We started at the "Hotel am See" anti-clockwise. You can choose between 2 routes. For us only the short one was an option …

Unfortunately, the animals of the forest at the O-See didn't accept our gift table... what a pity.

So today it was "decorate".
Apples and carrots were even good. The daughter can still take them for the horses.

One of our spheres was missing, the wind blew away, but someone hung another...
...next Christmas then to a new one!

The O-See is always good, it's nice and flat...you can run the circuit a little faster. 😉

The Olbersdorfer See is a former mining area. The site was redesigned for the 1999 State Horticultural Show. That is why you will find numerous witnesses of mining history in the leisure oasis. Two well-signposted hiking trails of 4.5 and 7.5 km in length lead around the lake

We couldn't tear ourselves away from Zittau just yet.
With temperatures down to -2 degrees Celsius and glorious sunshine, we set off for a walk around Lake Olbersdorf.
A completely new landscape has been created here from the former open-cast lignite mine. After the 1999 State Garden Show, a beach with an adjacent campsite was built on the lake.
Numerous …

December 11, 2022,O-See-Runde am 3. Advent

Like last Sunday, today again a wintry round around the O-See.
Since only one pine tree by the lake has been decorated for Christmas this year and we haven't set up a tree with baubles for years, we put an existing pack of Christmas baubles in our backpack and decorated another tree. The blue balls shine conspicuously.

December 17, 2023,3. Advent-Oster-O-See-Spaziergang

Today I felt more like reciting the Easter walk than singing Christmas carols.
Beautiful sunshine, temperatures in the upper single digits, the willows are starting to bloom...
No! There's no real Christmas spirit there.

That's why we're going to Dittersbach a.d.E. with our in-laws for Advent singing in the church there.
Maybe it will help.

March 12, 2024,Abendrunde um den O-See

After a day in the office with little oxygen and no exercise, there was still a little evening time to go.
The sunset wasn't quite as beautiful and red as yesterday, but the walk around the lake was still good.
Part of the path is closed due to the risk of collapse, but the path is still passable and safe. …
