Amselsee is a picturesque lake in the spa town of Rathen, amidst the impressive landscape of Saxon Switzerland. Surrounded by dense forest and towering cliffs, the lake is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts, hikers, and those seeking relaxation. Rowboats and pedal boats can be rented at Amselsee for a round trip. See: saechsische-schweiz.de/ausflugsziele/amselsee-kurort-rathen
