Sitting on a Volcano
Not only Norway has beautiful lakes, Germany has, too. My favourite lake in Oslo is Sognsvann, but this one comes close. It is called "Laacher See" and it is a potentially active volcano. At some spots you can see little bubbles coming out of the water.
In contrast to Sognsvann it lacks an efficient subway connection, but the Benedictine monastery Maria Laach Abbey (seen in the background of the first picture) more than makes up for it.
One Google Maps you find the lake here.
