Wonder why I chose this title? Well,
this spot is still pretty nice. Beautiful views over the water and
the fields, a nice BMX/MTB trail and lots of green. Your butt gets
tortured a lot, but I guess that's just another side effect when
riding your bike off road. This is the Westensee, a small artificial
lake that was planned to become a hotspot for young families.
The problem is that it is pretty much
at the west end of all the south-east suburbs. So, opposite of the
resedentials there is nothing but fields and industrials. Doesn't
sound that awesome, right? But on top there are plenty other lakes
that are either more central or have better water and surroundings
and therefor attract more people.
Over the last years the environment was
pretty much left to itself and now there are more than two thirds of
the beach covered in grass and all kinds of plants. Also the paths
that made for wonderful bike trails became to tight with spiked
branches on both sides to just shoot through them. I am actually
quite shocked by that as I haven't been there for more than a year.
And suddenly a wild nature appeared.
So next time I will visit another lake
that is a lot better for a nice bike ride as well as your workout
rides, even if it might be harder to reach. Also there is something
new planned this Wednesday and Saturday. Until then, respect your
spots and keep exploring.
