April 20, 2025,VolmeSchatz Jubachtalsperre - "Die Südsee der Region"
Out and about with my son again today 🥰.
We headed to the Ebbegebirge Mountains in the Sauerland, more specifically to the Jubachtalsperre Dam, where we wanted to hike one of the Volme Treasures (a total of 10 circular hikes along the Volme River).
Besides the small and idyllic lake itself, another highlight was the observation tower on the Homert, …

That was one of the 9 Volmeschatz tours. Always after the "V". Only once was the sign on a tree where a small path led down to the left near the Jubachtalsperre and was easy to miss. Then at some point it was time to turn around..... It only went uphill from the Jubachtalsperre to Homert. Nice way mainly on …

A really nice tour! Very well signposted like all Volme treasures. Dam, forest and meadows as far as the eye can see. What more do you want?

Today we finally found the time again and were able to tick off a wonderful hike with equally nice weather in the Märkisch district, namely the VolmeSchatz dams - the South Seas (n) of the region. We started at the Herlinghausen hiking car park, right on the B54. The path is signposted with a white V on a turquoise background …

A beautiful spring start. Bumpy gravel paths. The once beautiful forests in the Sauerland now look like a crater landscape.

Off to the Sauerland to the South Sea region, which got its name thanks to the many great dams. Not far from here is Lüdenscheid, where a visit to the Phänomenta is really worthwhile - a great physics museum for all ages 👌🏻You can easily plan 4-5 hours here without getting bored. You can try things out everywhere, touch things …
