View of the abandoned Forggen lake with behind it lying Schwangau near Fuessen / Bavaria with wooden foot in the foreground. The Forggensee is fed by thawing snow from the high Alps. The entrained sedimentary rock settles at the bottom of the lake. In order to remove this sedimentary rock, the water of the lake is drained to allow transport by means of construction vehicles. By the summer the lake has reached its normal water level again and is used by excursion boats and leisure boats.
