Hullerner Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

The Hullern reservoir is very beautiful, as it is usually not as crowded as the Haltern reservoir. If you want, you can take both lakes with you. A great tour. I love to drive them again and again.

After the rain today we went on a relaxing bike ride to the Borkenberge.
We stopped at the POTTKantine at the campsite and had a good meal and refreshed ourselves. Lovely place!

Spontaneously cycled tonight to enjoy the evening atmosphere in the heath. What a brilliant idea. The tour leads almost exclusively on side roads and cycle paths with little traffic. The old post route is particularly beautiful. It connects Olfen and Hullern. It is paved and leads through the forest.
From Flaesheim I followed the Wesel-Datteln canal to Datteln.
