Today's hike took us along the Hengsteysee, a picturesque lake landscape in North Rhine-Westphalia. The tour began with a longer section on the shore of the lake, where we were able to enjoy a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. The shore is extensive, offers great views of the water and numerous opportunities to observe nature.

April 11, 2026,Klusenberg⛰️ - Hohensyburg🏰 - Hengsteysee💦 ab Herdecke🥾🥾

The choice of today's hiking route served two ambitions: Firstly, to reduce the oldest planned hiking routes in the Komoot app, which I aimed for🥾🥾, and secondly, to use the Deutschlandticket purchased for the month of April. Since the oldest route in my collection started at Herdecke station, both prerequisites were perfectly met👍.

We exit at the Honsyburg Casino and turn left. We …

Nice route (except for the beginning, which I'll do differently next time. Better from Hagen with RB 52 to Wittbräucke.), Herdecke: A nice little town with lots of places to stop for a break.
