August 11, 2024,Iron Lake Challenge 05 - Großes Meer

There are small houses around the sea where you can rest or escape the wind for a while. The highlights of the circuit are the two punts, hand-operated ferry pontoons across the canals. There are …

Today, the "Three Seas Trail" takes you around the Großes Meer. The start and finish is at the parking lot at the Meerwarthaus. The route is 15.5 km long and the weather is perfect. You can still do the loop until October 31st, when the season ends. You can still use the two punts (self-cranking ferries) to cross a canal …

A nice round, but I would recommend the tour as a bike tour, since there are mostly long asphalted stretches.
