Fishing, sure, maybe dangle your legs and cool off, but definitely not swimming! The lake was formed as a result of subsidence from a former coal mine...so swimming can be life-threatening.

The stamp box with the stamp number 14 stands rather inconspicuously on the field path and camouflages itself quite well with its color. So please be careful!

At the end of the day, when the sun is low, it is particularly beautiful up there.

Hidden on a hill surrounded by a small forest is the stamp box with stamp number 6. A small overgrown path leads right there. Opposite is a bench directly on the path. There is an information board and a memorial stone. From the stamp station you have a beautiful view of Aschersleben.
