The lake was formed when the subsoil was compacted by heavy military machinery after the Second World War. Today the lake lies harmoniously in the Osterheide and has never dried up, although it only feeds on rainwater.

September 4, 2021,59/21 Schneverdingen Runde: - Wümme Berg - Spitzbubenweg - Sylvestersee

Today we went to the blooming heather again, in areas still unknown to me.

Away from the heathland hotspots Büsenbachtal, Undeloh, Wilsede, I undertook a 19.5 km long hiking tour around Schneverdingen. Wümmeberg, Spitzbubenweg and Sylvestersee as well as the Osterheide are worth visiting and not as overcrowded as the heath places mentioned at the beginning.
