This tour wasn't all that nice either😜Except for the few sections along the water, which were really beautiful—road, road, road! The section along the Kiel Canal made it a bit better🍀
But, another challenge checked off 💪👟

The route went over a lot of asphalt and in a large arc around the Wittensee, but you could still catch some views of the lake!

September 17, 2024,IronLakeChallenge Wittensee - Runde von Sehestedt

Unfortunately, there is no direct path all the way around the lake, so you have to make a big detour on the south bank. The paths are mostly asphalt, but there are also beautiful places with hiking trails right by the lake.
Sehestedt, Bünsdorf and Groß Wittensee are worth a visit. There are many beautiful bathing spots around the lake …

Today, the three of us siblings walked around the Wittensee as part of the lake challenge. The sections along the road to Sehestedt and the last stretch took quite a while. But the November weather played along and our food was good. At the end, we were happy and satisfied.

We wanted to take advantage of one of the last summer days to circle another of the lakes in Schleswig-Holstein. This time, we headed north of the Kiel Canal around Lake Wittensee. We chose Groß Wittensee as our lunch stop, parked accordingly, and set off.
To avoid having to walk along the country road near Sehestedt (which can also be …
