Bever Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

The dam was built for flood control and to augment low water levels. Today, it's also a fantastic local recreation area. Tamina Kallert, presenter of the WDR program "Wunderschön" (Beautiful), has already discovered this.

Immaculate Conception Church in Egen

The gastronomy at km 11.6 is recommended. Don't forget the detour at km 12.6. Otherwise a very nice round. The closed bridge just before Egen was currently passable for pedestrians. If this is not the case, you would either have to branch off the street before or the little lane after from the main street.

A small summary in advance! On this hike, you need the talent to draw the positive out of the monotonous and partly unfortunate route guidance.
We were out and about in the Bergisches Land. The paths around and on the shores of the Bever and Neyetal reservoirs were not convincing with many panoramic views over a glittering water surface, but …

All of these dams and dams are …

Hello fellow hikers!
Today we went around the Bever and Neye dams.
Inspired by Lothar from Wipperfürth (extra greetings), who did his Neye loop yesterday, I thought you hadn't been around here in a long time.
No sooner said than done, a lovely hike in the best weather.
Best wishes 👍😎🍀🍺

After a week that was largely characterized by spooky weather ☔️ and other little mood-enhancing events, it was time to clear your head with a hike. The starting point was the Oberröttenscheid hiking car park, from where I completed a nice tour around the Bever and Neyetalsperre 👍.
