Twiste Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

In contrast to the other bathing areas, the bathing beach is taken care of by the DLRG and is thus also suitable for not so safe swimmers.

Wonderful Father's Day tour done with the kids. 👍🏻🤩 sporty performance of the two without an e-bike

Today by bike through the Bicketal to swim at the Twistesee, along the Twiste to Twiste from there via Mengeringhausen home.

Semi-idyllic along the road, but otherwise very beautiful 👍🏻
