Lake Wallendorf

Wonderfully clear water, many individual bathing places and a lot of rest. Sometimes one wonders about the salty water taste. This has to do with the former lignite mining: the …

A beautiful lap around Lake Wallendorf with a strong wind that always seemed to be blowing from the front.

February 1, 2025,Iron Lake Challenge "Sachsen-Anhalt" - See-Nr. 8: Wallendorfer See


A nice walk around Lake Wallendorf, even though the sun didn't show itself today.

I have now walked around my first lake for the Iron Lake Challenge "Saxony-Anhalt". This challenge, to walk around the 10 largest lakes in this (my) federal state, is a goal for 2025.

The fourth template of the SWH family calendar is a hike around Lake Wallendorf. I actually wanted to do the hike on Friday. Unfortunately, a thunderstorm got in the way. Today, with temperatures over 30°C, we took the tram and bus to Burgwerben in the early afternoon. Lots of people were lying in the bathing bays and cooling off in …

The Wallendorfer See as a right loop. We were in good spirits and actually got back to the car too quickly.
It's nice at home too.

It felt like the camera was being used more than the legs 🤭
The flora and fauna made nature and hiking enthusiasts' hearts beat faster 😊

Blue carpenter bees, sand martins, kestrels, woolly hoverflies, common blues, damselfly, herons, reed buntings, kestrel, marsh harriers, red-backed shrikes, cuckoos... and much more could be seen and sometimes only heard 🤓

December 31, 2021,Wallendorfer See 31.12.2021-mit Glühweinbegleitung
According to Wikipedia, the Wallendorfer See is located near Schkopau in the immediate vicinity of the Raßnitzer See. Both lakes are so-called residual holes from the former open-cast lignite mine. The renovation was largely completed in 1998 and the lake was flooded with water from the nearby White Elster.
A very nice local recreation area !!!

... a heartfelt thank you. Finally back on the road after a 4 week break. The days are getting longer and I'm looking forward to this year's activities. Maybe you accidentally cross paths on purpose. LG Karsten
