June 15, 2025,Runde von Burg um den Aartalsee 🙂

Today, a short loop from Burg to Aartalsee and back. Without the world-class goulash soup, though. It already felt like a Mast Sunday. It was basically a strawberry cake conversion tour, only without the strawberry cake. 😁

It's just the right thing to do

I need a root treatment for new growth.
With what?
A hops/malt extract.

When the weather is perfect, you can go to your favorite spot on the Aartalsee (and to the Aartalgrill due to dehydration).

August 31, 2024,Tour von Niederweidbach zum dritten Eibacher Traktorfest

Today we went on a tour to see the tractor friends in Eibach. It was a very successful event, praise to the organizers :-) On the way back we did something for our health. Everyone who passes by should visit the small graduation tower and the wading pool. To finish off, we had some delicious goulash soup at the Aartalsee. …

January 6, 2025,Erste Neujahrstour 2025 🆕️🚲

Happy New Year to all cyclists!✌️🚲
My first solo tour in 2025 was to the Aartalsee. The Aar had overflowed its banks in many places and was standing in the meadows. At times it was quite stormy and according to the weather app I had actually hoped for more sun.🫣 Nevertheless, it was fun again.😊

September 15, 2023,🚴‍♂️Aartalsperre Radtour🚴🏾‍♀️👍🍦🌞Steffi&Cori

Today I cycled the "Aartalsperre bike tour by Steffi & Cori" with Michael. At the beginning you needed strong nerves to drive out of Herborn and all the industrial areas. A lot of street noise and also traffic. The federal highways 277/255 always run to the left or right of the cycle path. Later on from Ballersbach things get a …

July 24, 2022,Herborn - Aartalsee und zurück

2nd day at local lakes...today the Aartalsee. The front dam is also very nice, this part is reserved for the landscape and the birds as a protected area. You can clearly see the low water level 😢. God bless my friend 🙏

July 1, 2025,für Planschen zum Aartalsee

The weather forecast said to take it easy, drink plenty of water, and cool off. So I grabbed my things and set off.
From Herborn to Aartalsee. After walking around the lake once, I found a suitable spot. There weren't many people on the paths around the lake, so I found a spot in the shade and was alone there …
