July 13, 2021,Schnell vor dem großen Regen um den Beyenburger Stausee🧍‍♀️🦮🧍‍♀️🐕‍🦺🧍‍♀️🦮

Parked hiking car park Beyenburg Porta Westfalica
I think everyone was worried about the big rain, so we walked wonderfully around the Beyenburger reservoir pretty much alone, hardly conceivable when the weather is nice 🙈
Some water sports enthusiasts were with us with the 🛶 and an agro-swan 🤣🤣🤣

July 1, 2024,Beyenburger Stausee 🦢

Today there was just a quick lap around the Beyenburg reservoir.
Due to special thermal conditions, this year there is not only waterweed but also flooding cocksfoot. Both types of algae are affecting the operational needs of the Wupper Association and the activities of the local sports clubs. A mowing boat is currently being used here. In addition to the …

January 16, 2024,Beyenburg - Winterwunderland

We went out to the reservoir early this morning, a wonderful winter landscape, you just have to take advantage of it. Some bizarre images, the smoldering area was partially frozen over. Then I met a person on the reservoir in a Canadian winter training. Really crazy. But it was just brilliant

May 21, 2024,🦢🦢🦢 Babys watching 😍am Beyenburger Stausee

After the storm with thunder and heavy rain, we only took a small, leisurely walk around the reservoir today.
It was wonderful how peaceful nature seemed after the storm.

January 11, 2025,Wintermorgen in Beyenburg

Winter at last. The town is thawing heavily, but there is still snow in Beyenburg. I use the morning to go for a walk around the village. From the pumping station I cross the bridge on the Schemm, where the Marienkapelle and the snow-covered pilgrim bench greet me. Along the reservoir I look at Beyenburg's famous, mirrored view with veiled …
