Blue Bridge and Pollard Willows on the Rüsterweg Nature Trail

Highlight • Bridge

The information board clearly shows how the pollarded willows were used.
The paths in the floodplain to the lake make the area a hiking experience.

Now @Martin and I hiked around Lake Raßnitzer See together. A great after-work tour with peanuts, oranges and lemon water. Afterwards, as always, there was a fast food fortification. Now all the calories you burned are back! ;-)

Just beautiful 🤩 ... with a delicious conclusion in the Wallendorf wine cellar - the food was super delicious 🤤☺️

Lots of nature, especially on the west side of the lake, where you can currently discover beautifully colorful wildflowers 🪻🌾 and insects🦋🐞🪲. If you like a quiet tour, this is the right place for you.

The Raßnitzer See in Saxony-Anhalt is an anthropogenic lake that was created by flooding a former open-cast mine as part of the post-mining landscape of the municipality of Schkopau in the Saalekreis district. It is located directly next to the Wallendorfer See.
