January 28, 2022,Mal eben zur Nordhelle rauf ⛰🔝✌

Friday = hiking day 🥾🥾😁
After we had "tortured" ourselves up the mountain to the northern light 🙈, the sun 🌞 accompanied us a long way. With snow and icy wind 🥶 it went down again on muddy paths. And maybe there will be a delicious cream puff (that's what people say 🤭) from the restaurant "Zur Oestertalsperre"👏👏👏
And yes, …

January 2, 2026,Aussichtsbank – Oestertalspere Runde von Himmelmert

Out of our comfort zone and into a snowy adventure with the wind in our faces taking our breath away.

We definitely burned off some of those holiday calories 😅 A beautiful tour that demanded quite a bit from us as we made it through the snow, but we were able to enjoy the peace and quiet of the winter …

August 14, 2021,🇩🇪⭕️ High5 im Sauerland: Nordhelle

Copied by Sebbi and managed to run the lap today. The area is great. Unfortunately, most of the paths are the typical paved forest paths (forest highways). Few beautiful hiking trails. All in all, however, a beautiful, promising tour.

A walk from my doorstep! The trails were easy to walk, and the weather was good – apart from a few drops. For just getting out and doing a bit of walking, the tour was fine!

March 26, 2026,🅿️Oestertalsperre🥾Rastplatz Spinne 🔄Runde

Taking advantage of today's day off, I drove to the 🅿️Oestertalsperre at the Staumauer. First over the dam and approx. 800m on the shore path, then the X11 leads up via Spengersiepen, east along the Waldberg. The legendary bobsleigh run up to the Spinne. Here I first rested under the shelter in the snow flurry. Strengthened, I took the K10 …

July 23, 2023,Nordhelle - Oestertalsperre - Nordhelle

Early - pretty early - my Sunday hike 🥾🥾 started this week. The reason was the upcoming afternoon program (Horrido🍻!), but the weather forecast also spoke for an early start. So I set off at around 7:45 a.m. at the parking lot at the Nordhelle between Valbert and Herscheid for a nice tour through the Ebbegebirge and past the Oestertalsperre …

February 13, 2025,Nordhelle 🥾Oestertal 🔄Runde

At 0 degrees, fog and light snowfall, my tour began on the free, spacious 🅿️ on Ebbestrasse. At the end of the car park, a narrow path leads onto the road, which I cross and am already on the hiking trail. I first go up a small path to get to the Ebbekamm. Then along the ridge towards Spinne, which …
