Nicely situated small dam, partly in North Rhine-Westphalia, partly in Hesse. The starting point is Heringhausen (tourist center).

Somehow, komoot doesn't like me very much at the moment. It keeps abandoning me along the way. Imagine, from the hiking parking lot, straight up into the forest, about 2 kilometers to the dam.

Today our hike along the Diemelsteig started in the direction of Heringhausen above Stormbruch.

We went past the Große Eschenseite down to Kotthausen 3. There the path then went slightly uphill again.

Today we closed the ring around the Diemelsee. A compliment to the Sauerland Mountain Club for looking after the trail! I strongly assume that they do that, since all other routes are also looked after by this association, unfortunately I wasn't able to find out anything more precise about it

I liked the overnight stay on the trekking platform quite a bit, one disadvantage is that you are exposed to the weather, for example when it is very stormy. Otherwise it is a neat thing when you pack your backpack again. I have decided to hike the Uplandeteig as well, there are these platforms there too, I will maybe try …

July 22, 2021,Diemelsteig - Von Stormbruch nach Heringhausen

The Diemel- and Uplandsteig had aroused our interest in the Hessian part of the Sauerland in the Waldeck-Frankenberg district, whereby we had planned a section of the Uplandsteig as a trekking variant with overnight stays in tents as a conclusion.
