A small island in the middle, as a resting place for the birds, where they can retreat. Everything is so beautiful in all seasons. And every season there is something different that catches your eye. I like to stop here and enjoy this beautiful view of this little oasis of peace, the water reflections are so often simply fantastic that it is difficult to cycle away again. And the swan, when it begins its elegant dance on the water, almost enchanting me, as if sensing my admiration, just doesn't stop. Ind turns in circles, hides from me under the bridge, and then again swims so elegantly, and he wraps his long neck back and forth, and then keeps his whole head under the surface of the water. And then he's back, looking at me...
