The lakes shine like blue gemstones in the sun in the landscape of the Ebbe Mountains. The region of the nature adventure area with the towns of Attendorn, Olpe, Meinerzhagen, Wenden and Drolshagen extends along the Biggesee and the Listersee and is located in the Sauerland-Rothaargebirge Nature Park.
The region also offers you perfect infrastructure for cycling.
Hiking experience: Hikers have the opportunity to explore the landscape around the Biggesee and Listersee on the Bigge-Lister-Weg, partly on flat routes directly along the lake, partly on challenging high-altitude routes. Olpe, Attendorn, Meinerzhagen and Wenden also have numerous and varied hiking trails to discover. The Grenzlos forest path in Olpe offers a barrier-free circular route.
View experience: There are fantastic views on the hiking trails in the Biggesee-Listersee nature adventure area; For example, on the Sauerland Höhenflug or on the spectacular Biggeblick viewing platform in the Waldenburg Bay near Attendorn. Another vantage point is the observation tower in Wenden-Heid.
Water experience: There are numerous offers around the lake for sailors, divers, surfers, anglers or for swimming. There are many dreamy bathing spots in the Biggesee-Listersee nature adventure area. Of course, you can also experience Lake Biggesee from a completely different perspective - namely on one of the ships of the White Fleet.

October 25, 2024,Herbst am Biggesee ☁️🍂🍁🙂🔄

This morning there were only a few cyclists and runners on the Biggesee. Pure peace from the Bigge dam on the hiking and cycling path along the lake, on the other side it was of course noisy due to the car traffic. There was still a small quiet section though. The sun didn't want to come out yet. Always beautiful …

December 17, 2023,Von Attendorn aus eine Runde um die Biggetalsperre

Happy 3rd ADVENT to all of you this morning alarm clock at 4.
Train towards Attendorn 5:20 arrival 7:30.
But getting up so early on the day off was worth it, the path around the Biggetalsperre is really nice. Next time I would just forego the asphalt a little more and take a wide turn, there are enough hiking trails …

Today it should only be about a part of the Biggesee, but the detour to the castle ruins of Waldenburg was worth it ...... Then we went on to the Biggesee. Nothing was going on on it ...

May 15, 2022,Bigge Nordroute

Our son wished for a storm-free place for his birthday 😁 That's why we stayed at Mama's in Siegerland for one night and on the way back today we made the missing northern route from the Bigge-Lister-Weg

For some of my followers it will be doable to complete the original trail in one day. The northern route was already …
