One of the most beautiful viewpoints of the Biggestausee. Two benches practically call for a short rest.

August 17, 2024,54.9 km Rund um Lister- u. Biggesee 2024-08-17 11:19

This year's men's trip took us to my old home in the Sauerland. It was really touching to ride through the well-known places such as Herpel, Hunswinkel Windebruch and Kalberschnacke on the way around the barrier.
The weather was also good😅As in the past, there was light drizzle at times and a bit of a fresh wind!
In Attendorn we …

The route around Listersee and Biggesee is described as family-friendly, but in my opinion, that's only partially true. About 4 km after the start at the Gut Kalberschnacke campsite, there's a single-track section of about 1 km, which I could only manage by pushing (barbed wire on the right, bushes and undergrowth on the left, with about 20 cm of …

Very nice and wide bike paths. Lots of driving in the woods. Unfortunately, there is no cycle path on the outside of the Listertalsperre and you have to share it with other road users and be careful. The inner path of the Listertalsperre is particularly beautiful and makes up for it.

The Biggesee-Listersee nature adventure area is well equipped for cyclists and offers an ideal environment. The area is characterized by the Sauerland's characteristic hilly landscape with its forests and valleys, and there are remote roads and challenging trails that offer perfect conditions.

That was the blue ride 🏞!
Blue cloudless sky and shiny blue dams 🙂.

The cycle paths around the Bigge and Lister dams are extremely well developed, I can highly recommend the tour 👍

The highlight at the end was of course the skywalk, great view over the lake and visible from afar.

June 9, 2023,Runde von Biggesee und Listertalsperre

Around the Biggesee runs a very nice, wide, asphalted, bicycle and hiking trail. Very nice to look at is the dam over which you can drive and the Listertal dam, also passable.
The loop to Attendorn please no descendants, just a lot of traffic, nothing else.
The route around the lake is beautiful.

May 26, 2024,Fahrrad Tour um den kompletten BiggeSee

Very nice tour around the Biggetalsperre. Even though it was very busy, I never had the feeling that the paths were narrow or crowded. Most of the time the paths were asphalted and easy to cycle on. I had hoped for more forest paths, especially from Waldecker Bucht to Kalberschnacke. From the Listerbrücke on the Nalbetschnacke to Schnüttgenhif there was …
