February 27, 2022,Staumauer Eschbachtalsperre – An der Eschbachtalsperre Runde von Belten

A wonderful tour between Remscheid and Wermelskirchen. The hiking trail is well signposted. There are always information boards along the way. I found them very interesting. Depending on your condition and desire, you can extend or shorten the tour.

Today I paid a sick visit to my niece. After her operation, a walk around the small dam was possible and welcome for her.

January 6, 2023,🚶🏻‍♂️🚶🏼‍♀️ eine Runde um die Eschbachtalsperre trotz 🌧️☔

On the way a small 🚶🏼‍♀️🚶🏻‍♂️round made around the Eschbachtalsperre.
Unfortunately, there were hacks on the road again and defaced the forest science boards. 😡
Unfortunately, at the beginning of the path there is a lot of rubbish (paper towels, dog waste, etc.), which is a pity. 😪
The dam is fenced off for security reasons.
