By “your own lake” we also mean “your own lake / swimming pond”!!!
You are completely undisturbed there and the lake on the mountain/swimming pond is for the exclusive use of OLIVIA guests.
From the footbridge of the swimming pond you can watch dragonflies, miniature frogs, butterflies, Herbert and Hubert, fire salamanders and other creatures of nature. All these creatures have colonized the swimming pond. In summer, the swallows flying over the surface of the water to drink water are impressive … You can literally look the swallow in the eye.
But stop… who are Herbert and Hubert?
Don’t worry … no humans 🙂 .. Herbert and Hubert are 2 grass carp (fish) who patrol the swimming pond as a cleaning team… don’t worry, they don’t bite!!!
We created the pond itself like an infinity pool. The surface of the water blurs with the horizon, giving the impression that you are swimming into the valley.
In winter – it seems to be a real trend at the moment – the pond is often used for ice bathing. HotPot + ice bathing … happiness on earth for some 🙂
Herbert and Hubert – What else you can know about it
White Amur – favorite in the swimming pond
The white amur, also known as grass carp, is a large freshwater fish that is often found in swimming ponds and rivers. Originally from China, the White Amur was later introduced to various parts of the world. In North America and Europe, it is valued for its role in the biological control of aquatic plants and as a food fish.
This fish species is characterized by its elongated body, its silvery to golden colouring and its strong tail. The white amur feeds mainly on aquatic plants and algae, which is why it is often used in bodies of water (swimming ponds) to control the growth of unwanted aquatic plants.
In terms of its ecological importance, the White Amur helps to maintain the ecological balance in the swimming pond by reducing the excessive growth of aquatic plants. Through its feeding behavior, it helps to maintain biodiversity in the water and improve the habitat for other aquatic life forms.
In some regions, the White Amur is also valued as a food fish, with its meat being considered tasty and nutritious. Due to its size and robust body, the White Amur is also popular with anglers who appreciate the challenge of catching this strong fish.
Overall, the White Amur plays an important role in freshwater ecosystems (especially swimming ponds) and is valued for both ecological and economic purposes.
