View of the Sorpesee and its forebay

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Aqua Path runs around the pool with lots of water-themed toys. A rest at the chip shop on one of the sun loungers is always recommended. Preferably on weekdays when it's not as crowded

Sorpediamant Pavilion

Highlight • Monument

The Sorpediamant can be found on the Airlebnisweg on the Sorpe. With gentle sounds and babbling water, which runs over the rock stone one can relax here wonderfully. In a pleasant humidity.

An icy east wind greets us in the New Year. The brave little man 🐶 actually managed the whole round, even though he was going very leisurely. It's just great that he's still here, even though his old age is slowly numbered! With that in mind, Happy New Year!

The first few kilometers were spent walking around the Sorpe foreshore. The Christmas path was still there and it was beautifully set up. The sun was shining, even if it didn't warm us up. Always worth a trip.
