Haferkasten Brüninghausen (1755)

Highlight • Historical Site

This listed oat box in Lüdenscheid-Brüninghausen, dating from 1755, belongs to the farmhouse opposite. An oat box was a type of storage for both food and clothing, which were intended to be protected from fire in the event of a fire in the main house.

View of the Verse Reservoir

Highlight • Viewpoint

A beautiful viewpoint overlooking the Versetal reservoir. From here, a wide view opens up over the lake and the surrounding wooded hills, inviting a short break, especially after the climb. Depending on the lighting, the landscape always looks different, making this spot a worthwhile stop on the tour.

Great idea. A toolbox is available free of charge with the following content for "first aid" on the bike:

Versetalsperre

Lake

44.4 km

View of the Verse Reservoir

Highlight • Viewpoint

Since the Versetalsperre is purely a drinking water reservoir, the bank area is surrounded by dense vegetation. At the places where there are benches, you usually have a good view of the water.

Versetal Reservoir (Versetalsperre)

Highlight • Monument

Firstly, you have a magnificent view of the reservoir from here.

Secondly, countless hikes can be started from the trailhead parking lot.

Short and long – flat and challenging.

The title says it all, made a few more kilometers for city cycling. If I had driven this route by car instead, there would certainly have been other troubles, apart from the CO2... 😁

The closure in Brüninghausen only applies to cars. Traffic on the entire route to Verse is now wonderfully quiet.

August 17, 2022,Feierabendrunde - Stadtradeln (2)

After work tour around the verses incl. return journey through the beetle battlefields Böllenberg, Piener Kopf and Nümmert. The sign "wildlife zone" almost directly next to the harvester comes across as very ironic... I hope I didn't overlook any more on the piece (- that is, signs, not harvesters.)

With a mountain bike it is possible to do the round without any problems. (please not my dead ends)
Of course, it can happen that forest work prevents you from continuing your journey, but you can usually get further with short sliding inserts ...
