Along the Sorpe there is an approximately 17 kilometer long walking and cycling path (circular route). This offers the opportunity to run, skate or ride the entire lake. There are also many adjacent trails for mountain bikers.

Nice tour despite heavy rain. 😊☀️🌧️☀️🌧️☀️
The bike path from Mellen is still under construction, but it looks very promising and will be a good way to get to the Sorpesee quickly.

Joooo... had a bit of time today...
I used it well to go for a nice ride 🤗🤗🤗
Joooo... Then I wanted to cycle to Sorpe via the cycle paths 🤔.... hm... Joooo...
...I had to realise that some municipalities don't seem to take the snow clearing service all that seriously...🤔
...then it became a bit of an exciting affair …
