Hariksee (Harik Lake)

Highlight • Lake

Simply beautiful, on foot (premium hiking trail W3), but also by bike. There are great places to stop for a break and pedal boat rental to take the Patschel across the lake.

Extended loop around the Hariksee and towards Born with a fish purchase🐟 near Mühlrather Mühle.
Beautiful NSG and broken landscape always provide new views.
The rain didn't catch up with us.😊
