June 8, 2024,6./10 ILC💪 - Speicherbecken Borna🌊

Today we continued our Iron Lake Challenge (ILC) with the Borna reservoir. This is also a result of open-cast lignite mining, for which the villages of Blumroda, Hartmannsdorf, Görnitz and Altdeutzen had to make way. In 1970, open-cast mining was stopped and the resulting pit was converted into the reservoir by 1977, which now serves to protect against flooding and …

This year, as part of the Rock am Kuhteich festival, we once again circled the reservoir and stopped in Regis-Breitingen for a kebab. Beautiful nature and tranquility provided a contrast to the festival hustle and bustle.

May 10, 2024,Iron Lake Challenge Sachsen Tour 10: Speicherbecken Borna

Done.
The Borna reservoir was tour 10 out of 10 of the Iron Lake Challenge Saxony.
If you are on legal routes, you are pretty far away from the lake the whole time. There are signs everywhere saying that there is a risk to life near the lake. I didn't like that at all because I like to photograph water. …
