Today, at a frosty 0 degrees, I went for a hike around the Otto-Maigler Lake with Davina. The lake, which was created by former brown coal mining, is now an idyllic local recreation area, surrounded by dense forests and wide meadows.

Today I was out with Davina at the Otto-Maigler-See. A short walk, about 5 km, but just right for a fresh day at the end of January. The lake was quiet, only a few walkers and joggers were out and about. Davina naturally sniffed everything around and was full of energy as always. It was just nice to be outside, …

The lake is ideal for windsurfers and stand-up paddling. We saw a few anglers and canoeists on the lake.
