Nice spot for a swim.

This lake was flooded in the 1970s. It's a "miracle" how nature has evolved during this time. It gives us a glimpse of what the Lusatian lake landscape might one day look like.

The Plessa Power Plant, with its two chimneys, is the only remaining witness to coal production and processing in the Plessa region. Unlike other factories and power plants, the Plessa Power Plant was able to escape demolition. The colossal industrial facilities were preserved in their original form – as they first went into operation in 1927. Today, the power plant is an industrial monument and museum. It was designated a historic monument in 1985. The building, with its harmonious appearance due to its strict symmetry, is considered the oldest lignite-fired power plant in Europe. Visitors can experience traces of the past in all their authenticity and grandeur. Source: https://www.plessa.de/verzeichnis/objekt.php?mandat=93496

Directly on the beach of the Grünewalder Lauch camping park you will find this magnificent panorama of the approximately 100 hectare lake in Brandenburg near Grünewalde on the eastern edge of the Niederlausitzer Heidelandschaft nature park.
