View of the Sorpesee and its forebay

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Aqua Path runs around the pool with lots of water-themed toys. A rest at the chip shop on one of the sun loungers is always recommended. Preferably on weekdays when it's not as crowded

The Sorpesee is touristically very well developed. Here you can go diving, rowing, sailing, surfing, camping and, which I think is pretty cool, renting tree houses as accommodation (sorpesee.de/nordic-ferienpark-sorpesee/baumhaeuser-am-sorpesee.html). It …

Today the hiking buddies went on this circular route marked by the SGV.
This round is well marked and can be completed in a relaxed manner.
When you have nice conversations in good company, you don't even notice the kilometers.

The circular hiking trail around the Sorpesee runs sometimes directly on the water, sometimes at a higher altitude. In between there were also some long climbs that were not to be despised.
There were enough places to stop for refreshments in Langscheid and Amecke, but only a few benches along the route.
A lovely tour with refreshing air and a …

A bit of maritime flair, forest, and water. This is a wonderful way to get around Lake Sorpe near Sundern. Rest stops round out the hike.

...made it before the rain...now, a hot waffle...I'll write the route description later....

Here's "later," but let's get started: the dam is the first thing you reach when leaving the P2 and P3 parking lots (P1 is further upstream, but is more in the "through traffic" zone). There's also more space for campers here at P2 and P3, and even …

It's me again, mistress said this morning after raising some dust: let's go for a long run. She saw a great tour here yesterday where she thinks it fits great.
It was nice, first along the water on the sorpe air adventure trail, from there deep into the forest. Even discovered chapter 8 of the forest route saga. Let the …

December 3, 2023,Sorpesee – Sorpetalsperre Runde von Amecke

A fantastic hike through the Sauerland winter landscape.
If you want to see the Sauerland from its most beautiful side, you should definitely visit the Sorpesee in Sundern-Langscheid and enjoy the view on the promenade. Sailing and rowing boats glide over the sparkling water of the dam, behind which lie hills and mountains covered in meadows and fir trees. Due …
