July 15, 2024,Speicherbecken Geeste #1/10 der Iron Lake Challenge Niedersachsen

Today I walked around the first of the ten largest lakes in Lower Saxony for the #Iron Lake Challenge.
This was the smallest of the ten. But really beautiful.

today somewhere else. Then my wife had a good idea to drive to the reservoir in Geeste. You can walk around the lake very nicely. That was a very relaxing day 🤗

August 14, 2021,Deichkrone – Speichersee Geeste Runde von Biene

Out of the OWL and once in the Emsland. The round was very interesting. Fly with many surfers, sailing ships and kites. However, also very windy, where you have to be appropriately dressed. We were eating there at the local. Waited a long time and the food itself was average at best. Since you always walked along the dike, there …

There's no direct access to the lake except for the beach area, and dogs aren't allowed there. Our dog didn't like it at all; he loves the water. There are also a lot of …

October 5, 2025,Entspannter Rundweg am Speicherbecken Geeste 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️

Today, the three of us went for a walk around the Geeste reservoir. 🍂
A typical autumn day with a strong wind, gray skies, and lots of waves on the water. 🌬️
Still, the exercise felt good – a refreshing walk to unwind and take a breather. 🌿

It's always beautiful at the reservoir. And today was no exception! We took advantage of the only sunny moment of the day for this beautiful circular tour. An absolute highlight was the kingfisher, which we rarely saw so close up.
