October 19, 2025,Iron Lake Challenge "Sachsen" - See-Nr. 25: Neuhäuser See

Number 25 in Saxony, Lake Neuhäuser, is a remaining pit from the Holzweißig-West open-cast lignite mine.
It is also called Lake Neuhauser, as it takes its name from the Neuhaus estate, which was demolished in 1976 along with the town of Paupitzsch. Both had to make way for the open-cast mine.

November 9, 2025,ILC Sachsen25 - Neuhauser See - nicht möglich

Today's hike was rather frustrating, as I only realized quite late that the planned route wasn't possible because the Komoot route led through a military restricted area. Going around it was too much of an uncertain detour. So I ended up going back the way I came, even though I'd already completed more than half the hike.

-7 degrees in the morning 🥶... but then bright sunshine ☀️😊... it's hard to top better winter weather in this area... because it's not so easy with the snow &... you'd have to have the day off, of course 🧘‍♀️.
All the more enjoyable for relaxing and nourishing the soul.... ☀️🍀😎

Went this round for the first time almost exactly a year ago... today in freezing temperatures ❄️ (-12 degrees in the morning) but the most wonderful sunshine, even though we were pretty groggy. Breathe deeply after work 🧘‍♀️ is a must. Not met a single person... pure peace and relaxation 😌.
