Lake Kristýna

Highlight • Lake

During the severe flooding in August 2010, the lake flooded beyond its capacity, and to make matters worse, the dam over the Neisse River burst. The small lake suffered severe damage.

My wife also wanted to get some oxygen and since we hadn't been to Lake Kristýna for what felt like an eternity, we circled it and enjoyed a beer and a sausage with a view of the setting sun.

To complete my challenge at Relive, I had to navigate a route from the app. And the most suitable one was the one around Lake Kristina...so I went mackerel in the most beautiful autumn weather....just beautiful...

I've been visiting the old open-cast mine since 2000. It's amazing how much has changed and been created here.
However, this has also been accompanied by exorbitant price increases. For example, the previously free parking spaces south of the lake are now subject to a fee. Nothing has changed, however, except for the installation of parking meters.
