Bever Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

The Bevertalsperre is always worth a visit. You can really enjoy nature here - on land, on water and in the air (keyword: balloon).

View of the Wuppertalsperre near Karquelle

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Bergische Panorama cycle path goes past it, but be careful, the Wuppertal dam is VERY large. It's not really worth making a detour from here. Either enjoy the view and stay on the railway line path or re-plan the route from here towards the dam and cycle the other way around.

May 28, 2024,Feierabendrunde im Regen, mal wieder... 28.05.2024

It started to rain right at the end of the day. Unlike yesterday, when myriads of mayflies flew into your face, there wasn't a single one today... actually logical 🤣 but maybe it just rained harder today...

The year is coming to a stormy end. Today there was a bit of everything again: storm, rain, sleet and the occasional sun.

The outdoor year 2023 was similarly varied. It started with concerns for me about my health and I spent more time with doctors than outside... but then luckily the tide turned and I was slowly able to …

I thought I was brave to cycle in this weather, but there were four young men on the Bever who jumped into the water without hesitation...🥶

Today I combined my after-work round with a swim in the Bever... a wonderful refreshment... and the Höhsieper tunnel was also very pleasant today 🌞🚴🏼‍♀️🏊‍♂️😅 After the swim break, I forgot to continue the recording, hence a bit of a straight line.🤷🏼‍♂️

June 15, 2024,49/24: Von Lennep zur Wupper-, Bever- und Panzertalsperre

Today I combined the necessary with the beautiful 🤗: First I went shopping in one place, where I was then able to start a great tour 🚲 through the Oberberg region to the DAMS (Wupper, Bever and Panzertal dams).
The tour that I got from Komoot was spontaneously extended in a few places and so I got to know the …

Day 4 after the flood: Today I had to inspect "my" dams ... Hardly anything can be seen at the Bever and Panzertalsperre, but the Wuppervorsperre in Hückeswagen got it bad: Due to the floods in Hückeswagen Lots of oil and other pollutants got into the Wupper and now float as a thick film on the water. The whole bank …
