Too cold for me to go on a bike ride.

So I took a short drive to go for a hike at the Aabachtalsperre.

Start around 6 p.m. - weather was very pleasant, not so hot. Unfortunately, you only go on asphalt. Went clockwise, the first half of the route was a bit boring, I found the way back nicer because of the vegetation.

Today after work we did a lap 🥾 around the Aabachtalsperre south of Bad Wünnenberg.
The reservoir is located in a natural landscape, now in summer it is quite overgrown on the shore, but there are always sections from which you can get beautiful views of the lake. There are also many benches all around to linger.
The 9km long …

Today my long-cherished goal, the hike around the Aabachstausee in the Sauerland near Bad Wünneberg with my hiking friend, was put into practice in glorious sunshine.
The hiking trails around the lake are all paved and very well signposted. The other hiking trails in the Aabach Valley are also very well marked. There is no gastronomy on the lake itself, …

August 20, 2024,Iron Lake Challenge NRW25: Aabachtalsperre 🦾

On Tuesday after work, the program this time included a circuit around the Aabachtalsperre near Bad Wünnenberg - another reservoir in the Iron Lake Challenge NRW. 🌅 Since the route is manageable at just under 9 kilometers and not too far away, it was perfect for an evening round.
