In wonderful hiking weather we set off from Sondern to go on a nice hike around the Biggesee. The route requires a certain level of fitness, as small inclines also have to be climbed. But you will be rewarded with a lot of impressions and a wonderful panorama on and around the Biggesee. Can only be recommended.

A visit to the Biggesee is a must on a short trip to the Sauerland. There is plenty of free parking to be found around the lake. Our starting point was at the Kessehammer car park. Unfortunately, many trees were felled in the forest. This sometimes makes it difficult to navigate. The swimming area was open and was also free. …

Fantastic tour in the morning on the Bigge, when the mist droplets get caught in the cobwebs and shimmer in all 🌈 colors against the light. The fog rises over the Bigge and a sunny day begins. You feel like you're on vacation, and home is nice too. 🌞😍
