December 31, 2024,Silvesterrunde um den Kemnader See

A walk around Lake Kemnader south of Bochum. A well-developed local recreation area with many leisure activities. There are boat rentals, boat tours, cafes and separate paths for walkers, inline skaters and a bike lane. In summer it is certainly very busy but today, on New Year's Eve, not much is going on. So we were able to take a …

And again everything is gray on gray and wet and cold - it doesn't matter - put on warm clothes again and go out 👫
Yesterday we had city, country and forest so today there had to be something with water 😉
As a result, Lake Kemnader in Bochum was targeted and circled 🔄

It was wonderful. Crunchy cold, the lake was frozen. Eisblmen, lights and red cheeks, so it can go to Christmas. 😊

March 1, 2024,Haus Kemnade – Ruhr Promenade Runde von Haus Kemnade

A nice round on asphalted ground throughout. The paths are mostly divided for pedestrians and bicycles/inline skaters. The route is very popular and is therefore well attended even on Friday afternoons when the temperatures are moderate. Due to the large number of wild animals and people, it is only suitable for dogs that stay with their owners. Almost all dogs …

December 2, 2021,⛴ Kemnader See Loop

Once again a short detour to my home country including a spontaneous hiking appointment with my brother-in-law.
The loop around the Kemnader reservoir is very nice to walk, both in winter and in summer. Sometimes there are three separate tracks. One for pedestrians, one for inline skaters and one for cyclists. That was always my inline practice route in the …
