One of the most beautiful viewpoints of the Biggestausee. Two benches practically call for a short rest.

Today, with the great weather, it was the bigge's turn again.
Actually wanted to start in Olpe.
Small chaos due to a construction site, so start from a parking lot on the route.
Bitter cold start, but then the sun came and made up for us.
Great view and photo weather.
Bigge is always worth it, even when only driving …

Great tour around the lake on wide bike paths. On the one side of the lake it is along the busy country road, but the other side is all the more beautiful. Everywhere new views of the lake. The network of paths is well signposted. The dangling to the castle ruins and the "Biggeblick" are rewarded with a great view. …

Took another lovely tour around the Bigge River... it was extremely busy in some places. Then I took a break at the boathouse. Always a nice place.

Cycled around the Bigge again to relax. For the first time, cycled up to the Waldenburg Chapel and the ruins, interesting.

Very well developed cycle paths around the Bigge. Great scenery, lots of benches to rest on and lots of nature 🌳🌿 It's worth it ❤️👍

What a nice tour around the Bigge, together with Antje. And then, as an additional highlight, we chose the path to the viewing platform (inaugurated in 2013), which was sometimes borderline even for e-bikes. But what a great view from up there.
I have another hiking tour planned, and the platform is included.
And our greatest luck: just as we …

Today it was about the Biggesee in the best weather. Was a nice tour on good bike paths. Part of the cycle path runs alongside the road, but is always separated from it. Because the route has hardly any inclines, it is easy to do without an e-bike. 😎👍

nice tour around the Bigge, lunch at the Bigge Grill, felt like one of 1000 bikers, Bigge Grill is recommended, delicious sausage creations. (e.g. Currywurst North Sea with shrimp, etc.) Super fast service
