Nice little round. Parking fee 2,- at the Plessen restaurant. Asker Strasse is closed from the direction of Gevelsberg. You have to continue towards Hagen and pay attention to the signs to the dam.

Very nice hike, also ideal for mountain bikes and with a few challenges, so not boring. Not recommended on Sundays when the sun is shining, as it is too busy.
