One of the best things in Zwickau is its wonderful lake, which is located very near from downtown and 5 minutes walking from my dormitory. They lake is known in German language as Schwanenteich (literally “Swan Pond”) and was built by a very rich nobleman in the 15th century.

As I’ve been able to see, this is the favorite spot by the local people for long walks. It’s also an ideal place for jogging, I’ve already jogged 5 or 6 times, or for riding bikes.
In the pond there are a lot of fish so it’s pretty usual to see people with their fishing rods. Moreover the lake is “navigable” and you can rent paddle boats or pedal boats shaped like swans.

What a photographer!

There are also goats

And of course there are also swans…

Searching stuff with Google I found a shocking new about how a swan felt in love with a pedal boat, and as you can see the boat model in the new is the same as the one they have here in Zwickau’s lake, next time I will check if any swan approaches to much to the swan boats.
