Lindensee, Still waters in Rüsselsheim am Main, Germany
Lindensee is a still water body located within the Mönchbruch nature reserve near Rüsselsheim am Main. The lake sits surrounded by dense forests and occupies a broad, open expanse in the heart of this protected landscape.
The water body was created through gravel extraction starting in the 1970s, which transformed the originally shallow area into its present form. Since then, it has become an essential part of the protected nature reserve.
The lake serves as a breeding and resting site for water birds that depend on its quiet waters. Visitors can watch different bird species using the water and moving through the peaceful surroundings.
Visitors must reach the water on foot or by bicycle, as motorized vehicles are not permitted in the nature reserve. Forest paths provide access, though visitors should wear appropriate footwear for walking through wooded terrain.
The lake remains strictly protected, with activities like swimming, fishing, and boating completely prohibited. This makes it a rare retreat where nature can remain entirely undisturbed.
