October 5, 2025,🇨🇭Von Gippingen aus rund um den Klingnauer See

Unfortunately, it started to rain soon after we set off. The longer we walked, the harder it rained. The lake is a bird paradise. Many "ornithologists" could be seen out and about at work with binoculars, cameras, and telescopes.

Beautiful tour around the reservoir with a view of a lot of water birds. In addition to the many swans, we were fascinated by the shelduck geese, which can be observed and studied from the lookout tower.

The tour around the lake is flat on narrow, paved roads. Also ideal for prams and other vehicles with wheels. It has little …

So we headed to Switzerland 🇨🇭 to Koblenz and parked there at the Klingnau power station on the Klingnau reservoir 🅿️.
Warmly wrapped up against the icy 🥶 wind chill, we first went through the power station …

Today, in perfect weather, I headed to the Klingnau Reservoir for a leisurely stroll – or so I thought 😂😂😂. The parking lot on Kraftwerkstraße was full (thanks to @🚶‍♂️Günter auf Tour🚴 for the heads-up that the construction work is finished) – that could have been a first clue... Then there was a barrier at the weir. And then a …
