Great Aue Lake
Highlight • Lake
In the valley of the Great Aue between the districts of Vehlage and Fabbenstedt, embedded in old forests, there is a charming lake and recreational landscape, the expansion of which began in 1979. On the one hand there is the Auesee, which was created between 1979 and 1981. As a landscape lake with a water surface of 8.2 hectares, it offers, together with the adjacent area (around 27 hectares), sufficient habitat for protected plant and animal species. Part of the area is designated as a nature reserve.
In the years that followed, a recreational and swimming lake was created on the west side of the Große Aue. With its characteristic bank shape, the lake at Kleihügel or Kleihügelsee (water area 5.6 hectares) blends in perfectly with the landscape. Shallow water areas and immediately adjacent marshland and wet meadow areas as well as the marsh islands in the lake also provide habitat for many plant species. The beach also offers enough space for sports and leisure activities.
Here I always like to be out and about with the camera.

I've done a shorter version of the tour many times.
Today, however, the bridge was missing at the crucial point 🙈
The wooden bridge was dilapidated and was therefore demolished.
The Teuto Navigator couldn't have known that 🙈
Unfortunately, this meant I had to go back quite a …
