July 5, 2025,🏞Diemelradweg Quelle bis Wrexen👍

Today we set off from the Westfalenhof guesthouse in Usseln to the Diemel spring. The Diemel spring is beautifully landscaped. We followed several gravel paths to the Diemelsee lake. We took a break at the very beautiful Diemelsee lake, crossed the dam wall to the highest point in Padberg, and from there it was only downhill to Wrexen. We stayed …

I cycled the Dienel cycle path. I saw the springs, which were unspectacular, as springs tend to be.
It rained a little just before, then more on the way to Willingen.
I liked the Diemel cycle path. Of course, it was also a little strenuous.
