Today we took a relaxed walk along the lake and criss-crossed through the Botanical Garden of the University of Bochum. It is beautifully laid out and free to enter. For families, there are various places to play and stop for refreshments at the lake, something for everyone. It was a beautiful day 🤓😍

A very nice tour.
The start was the parking lot at Haus Kemnade. It went along the reservoir to the botanical garden of the Ruhr-Uni-Bochum and back along the lake.
I could hardly stop taking pictures of the flowers around the botanical garden.

A nice round including botanical garden. I was able to avoid the rain quite well, the few drops from time to time were not a problem. The unplanned, but then all the more beautiful visit to the botanical garden above the lake was well worth it. Most of the flowers are in full bloom. So let's go ❤️

After the tour on Sunday with almost 600 meters of elevation, I chose something flat today. The weather was good, it didn't rain and it wasn't too warm either. So first around the lake and then to the Botanical Garden of the University of Bochum. For me as a flower fan, of course, the perfect place for lots of photos. …

After 2 years, I finally went to the botanical garden in Bochum again, combined with a walk around Kemnader Lake.
At the beginning I could see straight away where I could take a leisurely coffee break in the green at the end.
Otherwise: Kemnader Lake is beautiful, but there is a lot of asphalt, then it goes up narrow paths …
