"Lake beyond trash pile" I wrote on my notes for this tentative. Well, it's not wrong. But I figured there would be SOMETHING to see. You DO get to see a lake beyond the trash I suppose, not that it's really nice or anything.

First off I tried to see it from the Lake Hotel. This should be a safe bet. Why would they place a hotel next to the lake and still have trash? For some reason they do! It's smelly and the path splits to "trash pile" on the right side. I took a pic from the hotel area but this is not the place where you want to be at all. After a quick chat with the security guard about the lake it turns out I should be at the north end of all this. You can see the pictures from there.

Not awesome but at least not as trashy. You can still see/drive past/smell the trash on the east side as you reach this place. Once there you have to go off-road for a brief moment or just walk from the main road. As I was arriving there was a gang of hoodlums beating up another hoodlum so I just drove past them...but yeah it's not a fancy area at all. It wasn't smelly at the north end and I did take a few more pics but it's NOT what you came to see. In fact the tar pit contains fauna and flora deposit which are now at the Natural-Historical Museum.

Do yourself a favor and look at this stuff IN the natural history museum rather than look at the shitty lake that contains these underneath not just water but also the soil. I know it compares to the Messelpitt but I wouldn't rate that high either. Also you can actually enter the Messelpitt and here you just see the lake that has filled the tar pit.
