Great corner to walk 😊 here you can enjoy the peace and nature. The Wahnbachtalsperre is also completely circumnavigate. Here you should be climbing and walking.

A nice, varied tour, but because of many steep climbs and fallen trees on the way anything but a Sunday walk! Sturdy shoes and a bit of fitness required!

The heavy rain in autumn and fallen trees make the route a real challenge. But it's definitely worth it.

Great tour with beautiful views of the reservoir.

October 20, 2024,Iron Lake Challenge NRW25 - Wahnbachtalsperre 🦾

On Sunday we went to part 21 of the Iron Lake Challenge NRW 25, this time we wanted to go around the Wahnbach Dam near Neunkirchen-Seelscheid. We started anti-clockwise from Wolperath.
