lake waldschwaigsee ~ karlsfeld bei münchen

what a nice afternoon with children at the quarry pond (baggersee) waldschwaigsee between langwied and karlsfeld 😊 it is a quite quiet place with no playground for children, no beach volley area, no barbecue area ... and there is just a small kiosk with a really limited selection of food ... anyway. it is a nice place to go close to the 3 crowded langwieder lakes, too. btw, the parking place in the langwieder street is still for free and even at a hot weekend day like today not overcrowded. 

i was not completely sure what does 'schwaige' mean and thought it could be s.th. with water. well, i've asked AI and look what they answered: Der Waldschwaigsee bei Karlsfeld verdankt seinen Namen einer früher dort bestehenden Waldschwaige, also einem Gehöft mit Viehhaltung am Waldrand. 😄

lawn for sunbathing

there were not many shadow places, if you asked me

there is a small island inside the lake (on the left side) 🐋

february 5th, 2022: what about a (winter time) walk around the lake olchinger see? 😄🐋🍀 this small round quarry pond (baggersee) exists since 1940 and has a diameter of maybe 300-350 meters between olching & gröbenzell some 20 km west of munich. it is not a really nice lake, but we have had such a nice weather & such a good light conditions that i think the pictures made a really nice. especially the 3 pictures made by my wife 💗

enjoy few birches (birken), willows (weiden), reed grass (schilfgras), ducks & water. will you?

quarry pond böhmer weiher ~ the nature comes back :o)

crazy, it looks like we come once a year here 😄. 

enjoy few pictures from december 2021 ⛄. any insights this time? yes. it is nice that the beavers came back too, of course. but if you asked me, there are not enough trees for that snappy beavers (bissige biber), are there?

addendum 22.02.2020 (what a nice date, isn't it?):
we planned to walk at the lake pilsensee today, but because of traffic jam we have soon changed our mind and went to the nearby böhmer weiher. today was a different light outside than during out first visit here, so i think it is a good idea to add few 'different' pictures to my old blog post 😄

enjoy 45 amazing 'professional' shots from all over the world 'nature took back HERE' and enjoy the example from our neighborhood below. it was a gravel pit (kiesgrube) in the 60ties and a factory for cement and concrete (betonfabrik) after that:

 

the small lake, kleiner böhmerweiher (weihergraben)

the bigger lake, großer böhmerweiher (böhmer weiher)

birch trees (birken) are often the first trees which start to grow ... like in the abandoned open pit brown coal mines in the northwest czech republic

our first visit, 14.04.2019: what the hell is the böhmerweiher? a quarry pond? why should i make a blog post about a quarry pond (baggersee)? well, just for one reason: it was sooooo amazing to see how the nature takes back industrial sites when we simply allow it to happen by doing NOTHING.

enjoy few pictures from böhmerweiher (baggersee böhmer weiher) in aubinger lohe (between gröbenzell, puchheim (+ eichenau) and lochhausen in western part of munich). it was a gravel pit (kiesgrube) in the 60ties and than a factory for cement and concrete (betonfabrik) later. the nature has taken this former industrial zone back under its control today :-)

our starting point this time was the nearby allotment garden area in lochhausen

still not too romantic, is it?

the forest comes back

btw, few years ago there was just one big lake, but the owners (the böhmer family or the concrete factory?) filled it with stuff + earth, so that we have two lakes today

what the hell is that? well, google's 'Then & Now' pictures feature wants to tell me, that google, NSA, BND, police and other authorities know EVERYTHING about me and my life. ok, i've understood :-(
