January 6, 2022,Nordic Walking Runde um den Elfrather See 🥾🥾🦯🦯⛅️bei 4° C 🦆🦆🦢

... according to the motto: done, done, just don't work up a sweat, because it was around 4 ° C today and the sun 🌞 showed a little. An ideal circular route for Nordic walkers and runners who do not want to run on muddy paths after long rainy days. The circular route is paved throughout.

May 13, 2025,Elfrather See

After a few wonderful days with our children and grandchildren, it was time to head back today. Before embarking on the 700 km of autobahn, we wanted to avoid the morning madness of the Ruhr region and treated ourselves to a pleasant walk around Lake Elfrath, which, at this time of year on a Tuesday, is still relatively quiet. However, …

November 24, 2024,Nordic Walking Runde um den Elfrather See 🥾🥾🦯🦯⛅️bei frühlingshaften Temperaturen 🦆🦆🦢 24.11.2024

Today, with spring-like temperatures of 18°C, we set off around Lake Elfrath with our poles. A few sailors even dared to go out on the water. Once there, we were told: ready to turn, and that was pretty hard wind. On the way, we saw lots of wild geese and local geese, which gave us a taste for... 😋.
Afterwards, …

August 15, 2021,Rundwanderung Elfrather See mit Elfrather Mühle

We started the tour a little later - our parking lot was at point B. We also ran the tour differently than planned, which had the advantage that we could stop shortly before the end. We walked the A57 twice. However, there are also parking spaces for those who just want to walk by the lake. The tour is very …

April 14, 2024,Um den Elfrather See 🌿🦆🐥🌸

Today we went on a - despite the weather forecast - quite sunny walk around Lake Elfrath. Spring has now visibly arrived, both in the flora and fauna. 🌱🐥🥰

The start and finish points are identical, so something seems to have not worked quite right with the recording.
