November 20, 2025,Morgenrunde 🥾❄️in Höhen um die Fürwigge

Waking up on my day off to a view of fresh snow from my window, I knew I had to get going. After parking in the free lot by the former restaurant, I started my hike, first crossing the dam and then climbing up to the Herdecker Hütte. From there, I turned right onto the Märzenbecherweg (March Cup Trail), which …

Taking advantage of today's day off from the late shift week, I wanted to do one or two laps around the Fürwigge. When I arrived there by car on the free 🅿️ in front of the old restaurant, I didn't think the weather conditions were that bad anymore: light drizzle, 5 degrees and little wind. So I crossed the dam …

Again something spontaneously decided and done right: a lap around my favorite dam considering the wind damage caused by the hurricane. First of all: of course I was particularly attentive this time during the hike. All the paths walked had now been examined by foresters (I spoke to one) and released. In many places it was already cleaned up and …

Parked in the free parking lot 🅿️ in front of the former restaurant, I first walked down to the "Seerunde". On the way, I was greeted by a white carpet of pollen 🤗. Approx. 700m along the water follows the first ascent, past the relaxation lounger and panoramic picture frame. In several places, there is now a beautiful view of …

The weather app promised dry weather this morning. So I decided to head to Fürwigge early. The paths were easy to walk on, but at km 3 I was caught in a final rain shower and the grass at the beginning took its toll. But things dried out pretty quickly from the middle of the tour. There was quite a …

This morning I took advantage of my vacation day and drove to 🅿️Fürwigge.
The Volme Treasures Nature themed hiking trail begins at the dam. An explorer's chest and several information boards provide interesting information about flora and fauna.
The weather is very poor at the moment. So after a long time I decided to hike with an umbrella again.☔️
