Juniper heath in the Elmpter Schwalmbruch

Highlight • Natural

The Wacholderheide, in the middle of the Elmpter Schwalmbruch, is a little less frequented, since most drive along the Schwalm and Venekotensee, but it is still a very nice alternative.

Bench with a View of Venekotensee

Highlight • Viewpoint

Many use the route between Schwalm and Venekotensee, but this side of the lake also has its charms and is very beautiful.
Only a short section behind the neighboring houses blocks the view of the lake.

Lake Venekoten

Highlight • Lake

The bike path between Venekotensee and Schwalm is perhaps the more attractive one, but on the other hand it is no less beautiful.
