Down by the Lazy River
The lake in the Luisenpark in Mannheim was created in 1975 when the city hosted the German Federal Garden Show. They will host it again next year, 47 years later.
Vogelstang Lake
The lake is wedged between two suburbs of Mannheim, Vogelstang and Wallstadt. From the northern side the watertower of Wallstadt rises above the stretch of beach.
From the opposite site the highrise apartment building of Vogelstang are visible.
BTW: The sign just visible says: swimming allowed, boats and stand up paddling not allowed.
Bird Bar
The neighbourhood of Mannheim were this lake can be found is called “Vogelstang”, literally “bird bar” or possibly “bird pole”. This pole however, did not feature any birds when I was passing by.
Millstream
This is the stream in the middle of our neighbourhood, it’s name is Mühlbach (i.e. millstream) and I guess there used to be at least one mill in times gone by.
