During the week in the morning, when very few people are out walking, you can see lots of grey and great egrets, I think a …

January 15, 2025,Dechsendorfer Weiher bei Eisregen 🧊💦 🥾

Almost everything was done right. Spikes on my shoes because the parking lot was still very slippery after the freezing rain last night. Only at the end did I notice that I hadn't started the Komoot recording 🤣, so the tour is an older one, but I wanted to upload the pictures.
A great atmosphere, hardly any people daring to …

Unfortunately, the ice crystals ❄️ don't show up that well in the picture. Had experienced the solar radiation live 🌞which made the crystals appear like small diamonds.❄️

A walk around the Dechsendorfer Weiher is always possible, it doesn't take too long and is a good option if you want to get a bit of exercise. There is always something to see, at the weekends it's more people (or crowds) or, like this morning, beautiful nature.
