The Möwensee impresses with its very clear water, its flora and fauna and its size. The quarry lake was created by gravel mining and is very popular with anglers, divers and bathers. The lake lies directly on the hiking / cycling path between Windehausen and Bielen along the banks of the Zorge

Zorge Bridge, Bielen

Highlight • Bridge

The newly built bridge over the Zorge in Bielen was opened to traffic in November 2019 after a new building. The old bridge was closed for several years in a row by flood damage and then finally demolished. It is the connection of the districts of Sundhausen and Bielen to the gravel waters

Small group with my big one. On the old Leipziger Straße we went once to Nordhausen on the great paved bike path. And from there back on the other side on the dirt road, along beautiful pebble ponds. Once again we realized how incredibly beautiful our homeland is ❤️
