Lacus sanguinis - a photo on Flickriver

Lacus sanguinis

            A little bog named Blutsee (Blood Lake) in the Irtenberger forest. The name stems from a type of algae that used to grow there and colored the wetland red.

The swamp is thought to have come about by fossilized pingo. From the 16th century onward, the region's meadows were used extensively. In Kleinrinderfeld's archives of 1812, the map shows a vast area of wet meadows. The 3.7 hectare (about 2.3 square miles) Blutsee (Bloodsee) got its name because of the growth of an algae named Euglena sanguinea that colors the water red. The growth of the algae has not increased in the past fifteen years. The area has been protected since 1996.
