Lenne Spring

You can really refresh yourself in summer at the Lennequelle. The two cuboids cleverly hide the drainage pipe from which the spring water comes.

Lennequelle

Highlight • River

You have to look for something first when you are on the Kahler Asten, but it is a little below the tower in a south-westerly direction: the Lenne spring.

March 2, 2023,Kahler Asten – Lennequelle, Kleine Runde im Schnee

With spring approaching, we wanted to enjoy the snow one more time. On the Kahler Asten that was still possible without any problems.
Add to that the blue sky, what more could a man/woman want?
No, that's all you need!!

After our first tour from Schanze, it would definitely have to be the Kahler Asten.
On my last visit it was lousy cold, rainy and foggy. I didn't see anything of the surrounding landscape. Today I was compensated for that. A great hiking area.
