September 27, 2023,Offlumer See – Schöner Seeblick Runde von Neuenkirchen

Small but beautiful loop around the Offlumersee. There is a lot to discover on the way around the lake. Whether animals or plants, everything is very beautiful. And the view of the lake from the numerous small banks is unique.
Only the crabs from @Geri didn't show up. 😀

🌤️🌊Offlumer See, reviving our spirits in the winter sun.

Today we were drawn to the water again—to Offlumer See in Neuenkirchen, which is just a stone's throw from Steinfurt. With bright sunshine and a mild 9 degrees Celsius, we warmed up so much on our walk that we quickly had to open our jackets. Just like yesterday, the result was …

On the opposite side of the lake there is also a pipe through which water flows into the lake. Just as I was there, a man in work …
