November 17, 2022,Diemelsee-Umrundung 🍂 🌫️ ☀️

"Sauerland, my heart beats for the Sauerland."

Already significantly less water than a few years ago ...

The nicest part was the small climb at the end of the round. The sun came out, perfect 🤗

June 9, 2025,Den H6 um den Diemelsee herum 🌤️👌👍🌤️🌞

We took advantage of the pleasant Whit Monday weather today to walk around the Diemelsee.

The hiking week organized by the Eifelverein Bad Münstereifel concluded with an easier circular tour around Lake Diemelsee. The stay at the Waldhotel in Willingen was extremely positive and highly recommended. You can have tours arranged as a package deal through the tourist association, or you can easily reach them by car or public transport. The hotel and tourism agencies …

December 31, 2024,Iron Lake Challenge Hessen 3: Diemelsee 🦾

Another round of the Iron Lake Challenge and not our first circumnavigation of the Diemelsee 😊 It was cloudy everywhere, but here we were really lucky, as you can see in the pictures. Frosty 🥶, but sunny and perfect for running.

We decided to do the round directly by the water.

April 3, 2026,H6 / ... einmal um den Diemelsee

🅿️ Diemelsee Dam

The public holiday must be used, so out of bed 😄.

H6... once around the Diemelsee. Who had the idea 💡? I 🙋‍♀️.

We liked the round, and the still existing view through the trees also had advantages. With greenery, many views of the lake remain hidden.

June 19, 2023,Einmal rund um den Diemelsee

Round trip from Heringhausen around the Diemelsee. First of all, it goes over the pier and then along the lido. After that it gets quieter. You can reach the western end of the Diemelsee without major climbs. Wonderfully idyllic!

At the hiking car park you then cross the state road and then it goes uphill a bit. But then you …

October 14, 2023,Einmal rund um den Diemelsee

Successful start to our week-long autumn holiday in the Sauerland ("terra incognita" on my personal map). From a hiking weather perspective, it was a perfect day and the tour itself left little to be desired. Since it only has a low level of difficulty, it can be recommended to almost everyone without hesitation 👍.

October 3, 2022,Diemelsee Runde von Heringhausen und Eisenberg Aufstieg

All praise is due to Allah

Today we were at the Diemelsee and did a round. It was relatively easy to park directly at the lake and the parking spaces are free of charge. The start of the route also leads to the free parking spaces.
