Nice walk around the lake. And lo and behold, I met the Komootlers Keo and Coalminer at the Centerpark Restaurant. What a nice coincidence 👍🙋‍♂️

Totally overloaded, only tar road, unsuitable with dogs

First, a delicious 😋 meal, then a walk around the lake. It was lovely.

Unfortunately, the umbrella couldn't withstand the gusts of wind. ☃️🎄💨💨😎

Today we had to do a round without a half marathon because neither of us is really fit🤧. Bostalsee is always a good place and of course it wasn't too crowded because of the weather🙃🙂.

Nice time spent at Bostalsee, pleasant tour. I can only recommend the accommodation in the Viktors Seehotel Weingärtner, super friendly staff and the food was very good and plenty, as well as the price range was okay 👍🤗

After enjoying our breakfast today, we set off together to walk around the lake. My wife @Diana and I on foot and our daughter on her bike, which we brought with us. The circular route is characterized by easy-to-walk and cycle paths and a small difference in altitude. So it's ideal for our daughter on her bike. She kept riding off ahead and coming back again. She must have cycled an extra kilometer or two. 😊 Our starting point was our house in the Centerpark. From here we simply followed the circular route, which leads through varied landscapes. We enjoyed the view of the lake, the surrounding forests and meadows. There are numerous benches and viewpoints along the way that invite you to take a break. The view from the dam is particularly beautiful. A small squirrel ran across the path just in front of our daughter, stopped, looked at her and then jumped further into the bushes. Unfortunately, I couldn't capture it well in a photo. A short time later, we saw another playful squirrel, which was also nice to photograph. 🤩 The walk around Lake Bostal is a picturesque hike that is perfect for a relaxing day in nature. The path leads along the shore of the largest artificial recreational lake in southwest Germany, embedded in the Saar-Hunsrück Nature Park. Numerous places to stop for a cool drink, ice cream or a small meal. We decided to take a short break at the Beach Club Bostalsee. Here we sat down in a beautiful setting with a cool drink.🧊🥤 The walk around is ideal for a short family hike. We had bright sunshine today ☀️ and it wasn't too hot, so it was perfect for our little excursion. 🤩

A round 🏞⛵️ that's always worth it + at 🌞 it's even more fun 😊! In addition to coffee ☕️ + 🍰, at the Bosener Mühle there was also a stand with glow 🍷 + red or white in the wake-up call 🌭 due to the stiff 💨. A great idea 💡 👌!
