Jännis Steg

Highlight • Bridge

You have the choice either through the shallow water or up over the beautiful bridge and dry feet. The brook babbles on both sides and you have a beautiful view.

March 17, 2024,Torhausrunde (Möhnesee)

After the Sorpe yesterday we went to Möhne today.
At 8 a.m. on Sunday morning, the parking lot at the gatehouse was still completely empty.
I had to take the “best” break🤭 at 9 a.m.
The wave bank with a view of the water was just too tempting 🤩 and apart from the birdsong there was nothing to be heard, …

August 4, 2025,"Holzfäller-Runde" Möhnesee - Breitenbruch - Wilhelmsruh (Sauerland-Waldroute-Rundweg)

Today I was out on another circular trail on the Sauerland Forest Route – the Lumberjack Trail, which started at the Möhnesee Gatehouse.

From there, I headed south on the Forest Route toward Breitenbruch. After a short while, I noticed that the rain of the last few days had softened the ground considerably – finally, some muddy forest paths again! …

Once again on the road in the Arnsberg forest, this morning at 16 degrees you could bear it well and breathe the fresh forest air well, you partly go along the forest route, but also encounter lonely paths. Overall an interesting and varied tour, gladly again 👍

The woodcutter round in Möhnesee lives up to its name. The spruces are all gone. Only Douglas firs and beeches remain. The extensive beech forests compensate for the bare areas. Still, it's a great hike along streams. After yesterday's rain it's gurgling everywhere 💧 This means that the paths are also muddy. My clothes might look 🙄 The tour mostly …

A beautiful, varied tour with lots of forest paths. A bit muddy now and then. The start and finish is the gatehouse, which is recommended after the tour for a visit to a café or restaurant.
Unfortunately, this circular route does not have its own markings.

We U's @Ulrike 🦊, @Ulrike Wischmann, and I adopted @Silke 🌞's tour with minor changes. We skipped Breitenbruch and the Bundesstraße, but found a recommendable alternative. Many thanks to Silke for the template; a great tour.

September 27, 2025,Möhnesee - Hevevorbecken - Breitenbruch 🌳🌤️🍀

A day of hiking and enjoyment with the "Wander-U's from Do" is behind me. I drove with @Uli and @Ulrike Wischmann toward Lake Möhne (parking lot 🅿️ gatehouse). From there, we began our wonderful hike through the forest 🌳🌳. We mastered wonderful paths (hiking trails and paths). We didn't meet anyone. Autumn 🍁 dominated the appearance of nature. This tour …
