Hello @Puckfänger, there is supposed to be a lot of blue-green algae in the lake in summer.

It was flea market Sunday again - but for me that means a round trip to the Werratalsee 😍🦢🦆🌊⛵️ and finally coffee ☕️ on the Werra - today with delicious Eichsfelder sour cream poppy seed cake 😋 from baker Weck from Bickenriede

Because of the heat, we didn't go around the lake but only to the marina and back again. Unfortunately, the beach house by the lake was closed, so we couldn't even have a drink together.
