December 31, 2024,Iron Lake Challenge Hessen 3: Diemelsee 🦾

Another round of the Iron Lake Challenge and not our first circumnavigation of the Diemelsee 😊 It was cloudy everywhere, but here we were really lucky, as you can see in the pictures. Frosty 🥶, but sunny and perfect for running.

We decided to do the round directly by the water.

🅿️ Diemelsee Dam

The public holiday must be used, so out of bed 😄.

H6... once around the Diemelsee. Who had the idea 💡? I 🙋‍♀️.

We liked the round, and the still existing view through the trees also had advantages. With greenery, many views of the lake remain hidden.

June 9, 2025,Den H6 um den Diemelsee herum 🌤️👌👍🌤️🌞

We took advantage of the pleasant Whit Monday weather today to walk around the Diemelsee. We had a really nice time on wonderful paths in pleasant hiking weather and the exercise by the water and in the forest just did us sooo much good🌲🌳🌤️🌤️🙋😊 oh and of course the junior also had to test the water quality 😂🥶🥶

Round trip from Heringhausen around the Diemelsee. First of all, it goes over the pier and then along the lido. After that it gets quieter. You can reach the western end of the Diemelsee without major climbs. Wonderfully idyllic!

At the hiking car park you then cross the state road and then it goes uphill a bit. But then you …

Successful start to our week-long autumn holiday in the Sauerland ("terra incognita" on my personal map). From a hiking weather perspective, it was a perfect day and the tour itself left little to be desired. Since it only has a low level of difficulty, it can be recommended to almost everyone without hesitation 👍.

Great hiking trail around the lake. Bring plenty of water. There are few drinking opportunities.

May 2, 2025,Diemelseestaumauer – Panoramablick auf Heringhausen

A beautiful loop around Lake Diemelsee. There are plenty of benches along the route and opportunities to get right to the water.

Next time, we'd head into the forest behind Heringhausen. The stretch along the road isn't as nice.

There are plenty of parking spaces for hikers along the lake.
