March 19, 2023,Als Pfadfinder auf dem Bigge-Lister-Weg 😜

This path is actually very well marked..... on the first stretch to Biggedamm I either missed the markings or they weren't there due to the large amount of forest work. So I had to look for the way a few times and walked back and forth a bit. If you want to follow the route, you have to look at …

And again following a tip from @Mel - the northern part of the Bigge-Lister route! At the start there was still thick fog, but then it cleared up considerably 👍😎 So there were still a few sunny pictures!

Nice round, a lot of up and down, I took the Waldenburg castle ruins with me, after all they were almost on the way... Some paths are almost impassable due to tree fall or construction work, so you have to deviate from the paths a bit.

After hiking in the neighboring district of Olpe had proven so successful the day before, I chose another route in the region on Sunday. While Saturday's hike took me to the town of Drolshagen, Sunday's route took me to the Olpe/Attendorn area. I completed the northern section of the Bigge-Lister Trail around the reservoirs. While hikes along the lakeside paths …

510 Hm. The landscape is beautiful here. Actually the hike over the heights around the Biggesee too. But apart from two short paths, you only walk on gravel and asphalt. The far-reaching views make up for it. All hell broke loose on the sea route today. In the forest, on the other hand, I only sometimes heard the streets and …

After we hiked the western route of the Bigger-Lister-Weg on New Year's Day and we really liked it, we decided to hike the other two sections as soon as possible. Today it was the turn of the northern route. We also liked this very much, the paths were very muddy in parts, so that we even found the asphalt sections …

May 1, 2024,⛵🚣‍♂️ Bigge-Lister-Weg Nordroute ⛰️😎

The start was in Neu-Listernohl 🏘️. The car park 🚗 was well below the dam and was therefore the lowest point of the entire hike. Most of the time I was well above the lake afterwards 😀.

First I went up to the dam at a constant 12% on a tarmac road 🥵. There I spotted the Biggeblick viewing platform …
