View of the Sorpesee and its forebay

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Aqua Path runs around the pool with lots of water-themed toys. A rest at the chip shop on one of the sun loungers is always recommended. Preferably on weekdays when it's not as crowded

Just a nice view of the lake. This is not the only place to pause.

The Sorpesee is touristically very well developed. Here you can go diving, rowing, sailing, surfing, camping and, which I think is pretty cool, renting tree houses as accommodation (sorpesee.de/nordic-ferienpark-sorpesee/baumhaeuser-am-sorpesee.html). It is easy to cycle along the "Randweg" along the Sorpe shore.

...and unfortunately Komoot still has the problem of only saving the pictures taken in the app sporadically... really annoying because I reported the problem to support months ago... 🙄
Do you happen to have experience with this? (We use Android).

Have a nice weekend!👋🏻😊

January 17, 2022,Rund um die Sorpe

15.4 km of asphalt again today 😎😅. It's not really fun in the forest at the moment. With light drizzle and 3 degrees plus, I finished the lap relatively quickly. Unfortunately, either Komoot or the GPS had a quirk. Some sections look like I flew. 😅. Or maybe that's really me??😇😇😇

Used the early morning to go for a nice walk around Sorpesee with Nicole, on my day of honor 😊. The forest area changes from time to time, everything becomes freer. If you still think of the past, really sad. ☹️
Oh yes, the plan was to take advantage of the beautiful weather in the morning, since "allegedly" thunderstorms were …

May 1, 2025,Iron Lake Challenge - Umrundung des Sorpesees

The Sauerland called, and we answered. I enjoy hiking around Lake Sorpe, but unfortunately, this hike isn't one of my favorites. The first half ran right next to the busy road, and unfortunately, the second half didn't give us as much of a view of the lake. Anyway, it was still a nice hike, and we've already made plans for …
