The Katjasee is an artificial lake in a former opencast mine near Frankfurt (Oder) and Groß Lindow. Like the Helenesee, it is located in the "Former Finkenheerd mine site" conservation area. There are paths around the lake, ideal for hiking.

Thanks Sisa for the suggestion. I've been here so many times, but I wanted to take a look after the lockdown. Such a shame for so many people and companies. Well, the site with the campsite was always forbidden for dogs, so I've never been able to walk around the lakes like I could today Karma ;-)
Two beautiful lakes, …

Today, in frosty -3 degrees, we did a lovely walk around Helenesee and Katjasee.

Even the sun 🌞 smiled at us and I really enjoyed it. Pure nature in wonderfully clear air. Highly recommended👍

Thanks to my two companions, it was a great trip.

Now we are ready for the Mammoth March in Leipzig.🤗

February 9, 2025,Schöne Seentour um den Helenesee und Katjasee 😎😊🥾🥶🧤🧦

Today, after a very long time, we went around Helenesee and Katjasee. We started at the Waldschänke.
The Helenesee is still closed because of the landslide a few years ago, which also caused a lot of things to fall down at the facility, which is a shame when you look at it like that.
The route itself is very beautiful, …
