January 11, 2025,Wanderung um den Borkener See - herliche Winterlandschaft und Ausblicke auf den See

Today we walked around Lake Borken in sunshine and a light frost. Magnificent views over the lake and beyond made the hike a wonderful experience. The air was so beautifully clear and fresh, simply wonderful.

October 22, 2023,Herbstliche Runde um den Borkener See 🍁🍂

Always a nice round - especially in autumn/winter, when you have a better view of the lake through the few leaves.

TIP: Park at the sports field in Nassenerfurth and then drink coffee and enjoy homemade cake in Hirschgarten Castle. The castle café is open every Sunday from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. (except November). In summer there is plenty …

December 9, 2022,Entspannung pur: Borkener See–Runde☺️

This tour really surprised me in a positive way! Thanks to the (unfortunately unknown komoot friend) from whom I saved this tour..... We started at the sports field in Nassenerfurt and walked around the lake once. The whole area is a nature reserve and all paths are natural and can be walked wonderfully. Again and again you have fantastic views …

March 29, 2023,29.03.2023 AZ Rundweg um den Borkener See

I took over this beautiful round from @Astrid. This was a good decision.
Thank you for the suggestion.

I started in Trockenerfurt at the sports field. Sufficient parking spaces were available here.

The path was easy to walk on and maintained.
Again and again there were benches for a rest. There were also some shelters.

June 22, 2024,Iron Lake Challenge Hessen - See 4 v. 10

The circular path around Lake Borken is unspectacular, almost boring. (Nature reserve)
You rarely get close to the lake and visibility is very limited due to the tall bushes.
The lake, which was created by open-cast lignite mining, is expected to reach its final filling level in 2028.

Today I went for a leisurely walk in the nature reserve around Lake Borken. Despite the miserable weather, it was a great walk.

Very nice route, the paths are easy to walk even for the inexperienced. Only slight inclines, mostly flat. The lake is idyllically situated in a nature reserve, just a dream for nature lovers
