One of several ponds in the Hanover area called "blue lake" (none of which are actually blue). This one is interesting microscopically, e.g. I once found tons of tardigrades here.

Nice lake to stay by the water. There is an easily walkable path around the lake.

Despite the proximity of the motorway, an easily passable forest path, paved bridge for crossing the A7 directly at the Hannover-Ost junction.

The lake is in a quiet area, although Hanover is not very far. So far I've only cycled past once, in the morning on April 15, 2022, during a 159 km bike tour from Hanover to Dannenberg, so I can't say whether it's always so nice and quiet here.
