Highlight • Viewpoint

Unfortunately, here as well as at Sorpesee, you have a side along the main road, next time I would stay on the east side for the way there and back.

Did a bike ride around the Hennesee this morning before the great heat. There were many shady spots. 😊

Used lunchtime today for a lap around the Hennesee. A really nice round that was really worth it.

A short walk around the Hennestausee in Meschede. The new ship has arrived and is still under construction.

Today I did my first bike tour. It went around the Hennesee. Although the temperature was pleasant, it was pretty windy. Cycling is different to running. I'm actually a bit tired. 😏 But it was nice. I was surprised how few people were out and about. 😲 But there were far too many motorcyclists. 😔

Nice trail around the lake, suitable for beginners with opportunities to get your feet (or more) in the water. A boat trip across the lake is also possible

When the weather was nice, I got my bike out for the first time and went on a little bike ride. You should start small. Although I walk a lot, I still felt my thighs. 😉
