Simply beautiful, on foot (premium hiking trail W3), but also by bike. There are great places to stop for a break and pedal boat rental to take the Patschel across the lake.

It was once again a pleasure to explore this beautiful region by bike.
The route around Lake Harik is particularly beautiful, where the restaurants invite you to linger.
This time I didn't choose the route along the Schwalm, but through the cute neighboring towns.

Very nice tour with a stop for lunch with friendly service in the beer garden of the Dahlheimer Mühle. Everything is available, from asphalt paths to exciting trails. Good to drive by non-professionals. Difficult short paths with a trailer on the bike
