July 30, 2022,Diemelsee: Seebrücke, Hohes Rad, Diemelsee in Flammen

We combined "Diemelsee in Flammen" in Heringhausen with a hike in the direction of the pier and Hohes Rad. The weather was great and the tour first took us directly along the lake below the Hohes Rad, which has shockingly little water. Shady sections alternated with sunny ones and after a while we left the shore path and it became …

With very summery temperatures, we went on a small tour of the Diemelsee with our friends today. The Diemelsee is the smallest but most natural of the Sauerland reservoirs, embedded in the charming landscape of the Diemelsee Nature Park.

Before our short trip comes to an end, @S☀️N🧦A and I have to explore a bit of 'our' lake. Of course, we want to know in which pretty area we recovered after our hikes. 😌
Then it's time to say goodbye... Sonja drives back west, I'm drawn north.
Thank you so much, Sonja, for the wonderful time together. 😘

We continue past the "Hohes Rad" campsite and then along the lake. A nice trail, a bit more sun at times, but mostly in the semi-shade, which was very pleasant. Then we …
