August 4, 2022,🍋 Sauerland - Talsperre Möhnesee
Today it was time to say goodbye to our cozy vacation home in Niedersfeld. We made a stopover at the Möhnetalsperre. The "Westphalian Sea", as the lake is affectionately called, is the largest dam in Sauerland and a popular destination. We were last here over 30 years ago. It was time to refresh the memories a little. Despite the heat …

No ☔️ but cloudy said the weather report. So in winter ❄to the Möhnesee. I have never seen the dam wall so empty of people. Ergo only on weekdays and in winter ❄️ to Möhnesee😂 . Heavenly peace and also Corona compliant 😃

Afterwards, there was a tour of the dam and the balancing basin, followed by dinner at MahlAnderZ right on the Möhnesee. 😋

The altitude is incorrect. Komoot must have had problems recording it. Komoot did not register the dam back up. 🤷‍♂️

The Sauerland, also known as the "Land of a Thousand Mountains," with its many forests and reservoirs, is a low mountain region in Westphalia. The Ruhr and Lenne rivers originate there. Economically, the region was characterized by agriculture and forestry, ore mining, and the iron and metal industries.

Today we had a very relaxing day. First we went on a boat trip on the Möhne with the seal 😍 and then just a short walk.

Hey friends. After work, I headed straight to the dam. Just killing some time, because I have a table reserved at Frankie's Hut for late afternoon! 😉

So, I walked around the balancing reservoir to the LIZ (Leisure Information Center), then back along the power plant side and across the dam.

Took advantage of the short dry weather and a nice invitation to the lake...the main thing is to get out...🙂💪🏼

Today we only went for a short walk with the children along the dam wall. We parked at the dam.
