View of the Biggesee reservoir

Highlight • Viewpoint

The asphalted paths around the dam are not ideal hiking trails. Nevertheless, the views of the more than 800 hectares of water surface of the dam, which has existed since 1965, are extremely impressive.

October 2, 2022,Wanderung Biggesee - Runde von Neu-Listernohl🚶🏻‍♂️🚶🏼‍♀️🌦

If you are on holiday in the Sauerland, the Skywalk on the Biggesee platform is a must. Unfortunately, we were up there with a little drizzle - the visit was still an experience. We then opted for a round through the deciduous forest - past the Waldenburg pilgrimage chapel and castle ruins and were rewarded with beautiful views. The sun …

After my mistress finished the housework, she packed her bag, piled us into the car, picked up her friend, and headed to the neighboring town of Waldenburgerbucht. From there, we walked past the chapel and into the forest, then continued up the hill.

The first few kilometers were just on the cycle and footpath, so it was only asphalt. You can do it, but I definitely wouldn't plan it on the weekend as it's teeming with bikes. The way back was nice through the forest. Although I had to go up sideways once because I had changed my route.
