Benches Overlooking the Ronsdorf Reservoir

Highlight • Viewpoint

Beautiful new benches were set up at the Ronsforfer dam. One to the left of the dam, two to the right. The fourth is at the entrance to the refuge. All offer a great view of the lock.

Shelter and Lounger at Ronsdorfer Talsperre

Highlight • Mountain Hut

When the weather is nice, you can relax on the sun lounger and enjoy the view of the lake; when it rains, you can take shelter in the hut. At this point, you are prepared for anything.

What (not) a winter. With strong gusts and temperatures well above zero, we went on a short loop along the Gelpe, which has good water, to the Höhenweg in the direction of Grund. Through the funeral forest and from there to the Ronsdorfer dam.
