Halterner Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

Great starting point for a walk around the lake. It's the largest drinking water extraction facility, which is why swimming is prohibited everywhere.

Visited home briefly; just walked around the Haltern reservoir (not a bike ride!) with a coffee break on the terrace of the boathouse in Stadtmühlenbucht. It was lovely. 😎

And: you can't miss it anymore - there's a hint of autumn in the light and in the air.

Beautiful round with a lot of views of the lake. Mostly through avenues with old trees
