Oleftalsperre Loop

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

A 14km loop around the Oleftalsperre is always worthwhile. Also good for a quick evening walk. Good, firm circular path with two shelters and a few benches.

Great tour 🌞🌞🌞🌞
The daffodils will be blooming for another 3 to 4 weeks, though. There hasn't been anything to see yet 🙃😉
