[Tagging] Quarry lakes

[Volker Schmidt]

Hmmm.
Most lakes around here are probably former quarries, but it is not always
obvous.
What could be of practical interest is, what kind of activity is lecit on a
like: none, swimming, boating, fishing, ecc.
The origin of the lake is of less importance in my view.
