September 4, 2022,Panoramaweg Diemelsee

On our short trip to the Sauerland, we hiked from our hotel in Heringhausen on the Panoramaweg around the Diemelsee. First we went up to the cliff St. Muffert. From there you have a magnificent view of the lake. Always along the Diemelsteig, on great paths, we then continue on over the Eisenberg back down to the small church in …

August 9, 2022,Diemelsee /Panoramaweg von Heringhausen

Exhausting, but nice 😊 sturdy shoes and a good basic condition are required. Around the lake (which unfortunately doesn't have much water at the moment) there are cafés, beaches (even for dogs), boat rentals and much more. We actually walked around once and it's worth it. After the upcoming tour we treated ourselves to ice cream and a small boat …

July 17, 2022,Panoramaweg – Diemelsee Runde von Heringhausen

The Panoramaweg around the Diemelsee in the Sauerland is a beautiful hiking trail. Also feasible for the less experienced and less trained hiker. You don't need hiking boots, hiking shoes are advantageous to enjoy hiking. On one or the other section of the trail, hiking sticks can make the ascent easier. Take your time hiking and enjoy the views. Besides, …

(See last photo for symbol) as well as a few small detours from the actual routes. Here it didn't go any further, but going back was never an option, so grit your teeth and climb …

There are places that aren't that far away; you've always wanted to go there but have never been there. 🤷‍♂️
That's how it was for me with the Diemelsee until it changed today. 😉

According to the forecast, the penultimate winter Sunday was supposed to be even friendlier, but it was perfectly fine for a hike. ⛅️
