Heidesee in the Kirchhellen Heath

Highlight • Lake

Very good trails with some small slopes. The nearby trails through the forest and on the shores of the Heidese are quite varied. In the summer months, it can be quite crowded at the lake on the weekends.

September 5, 2024,Kleine Runde von Hiesfeld zum Heidesee

A little tour that couldn't be better. 18 degrees Celsius and hardly any wind.
Hardly any sun, that was what I was most pleased about!
Through the Rotbachtal towards Grafenmühle and Grafenwald then to Heidesee.
A very nice conversation during a long break.
And pure peace!!!
