From here you have a great view of the Störmthaler See. It's hard to believe that it was created by flooding an opencast mine. The flooding was finished in 2012 …

December 22, 2024,Sunday Runday - #Lauf-Weiter.de - Der unendliche Lauf 2024

Grey on grey, with a little rain and very little sun. Perfect weather to drink tea in the warm room and watch a nice film. That's probably what most people thought. On the two laps around Störmthaler Lake I met maybe 20 people. And of course on the last kilometer there was also a heavy shower with rain and sleet. …

October 31, 2025,🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️ Störmthaler See (+Umleitung) 🐌💨⏱️

And there it was again ⏰: a nice little(?) half marathon with E.Feu 💐 was on the agenda.

Just like that 🙄, out of tradition 😅, around Lake Störmthal, what could possibly go wrong with such pros 😶?

Well... when you study the map at the beginning 🕵️, notice a road closure, but don't think anything of it 💭, you're …

January 26, 2025,2. Longrun '25 - Störmthaler See 🔄🏃🏼‍♂️🤘🏻

Actually, I had planned to do the Markleeberger See as an additional and subsequent ride, which would have brought my total distance to almost 33km. But yesterday's bike ride was still taking its toll on me and at kilometer 13 it was clear that I wasn't going to make it today! So I only did the Störmthaler and even that …

August 1, 2026,6/7 RunTheLake Challenge-Störmthaler See 🏃🏻‍♂️🏃🏻‍♂️🏃🏻‍♂️😃 Halbmarathon

That was quite a chunk. Right when I started walking, it began to rain and that too in this sultry weather 🤪. So, I went wet into wet around the lake.. Somehow, the last 50 kilometers were still in my legs, I couldn't quite get into running form. What the heck, it wasn't about time here, but about the joy …

May 28, 2023,🏃🏃RunTheLake - Störmthaler See #⃣3⃣🎖🍨☀

After Saturday was a rest day 🛌, my trainer 👴 and I 👶 wanted to jog another run-the-lake tour today.

I had already written about it: 7⃣ lakes have to be circumnavigated.. we already had two, there are still 4 in the Leipzig area and we can circumnavigate the last one anywhere in the world 🌍 as long as one …

March 8, 2025,RunTheLake 2025 - Störmthaler See

Run on to the International Women's Day 21k Challenge at Störmthaler Lake. 0.25 cents will be donated for every km run. A run for a good cause.
The climbs are really a challenge. Luckily I started today at around 9.30am, so it was still cool and there was relatively little activity at the lake.
