September 5, 2025,Rund um Agger- und Genkeltalsperre

A beautiful and relaxing tour around the two lakes. The tour runs partly along the road, but mostly directly along the water on bike paths or gravel paths. The route around the Genkeltal reservoir is considerably rougher, but the scenery is all the more beautiful. At the end, you'll be rewarded with a rapid descent back to the parking lot.
