Well, for me its a completely different story. Last weekend i took the train to the famous "Titisee" close to Freiburg to hike and fling stones into the lake since it has quite a few spots with small stone "beaches".
And as i was passing the last houses blocking the view on the Titisee, i see the whole damn lake is frozen solid. And its a big lake (1,3 km²)
There were a
lot of people on the lake, it was absurd. People casually strolling over it, playing with their dog and iceskating
So i just enjoyed a walk around the lake,
on the lake
I took both pictures standing on the lake and looking at the lake. There is snow on top of the ice, but trust, me, in summer i couldnt stand there
