Silvia has arranged to meet her colleague for a hike in Herscheid. So on the way there I stopped at the Fürwigge so that I could get some exercise today.
Fürwigge always goes. Unfortunately I don't have enough time for more today. First ⚽️and then the long-awaited Christmas party with the buddies.🎅🏼🍻✌🏼

Once around the Fürwigge in fantastic winter weather. But watch out☝🏻, there is mirror ice on the shady sections of the path! Otherwise completely cleared, so we're moving quickly.
By the way: Today is Kyrill's memorial day (see pictures)!

Have a nice Sunday 🌞 everyone!

According to the motto: “Fürwigge always works”, we went on the traditional Fürwigge round. Unfortunately not as quiet as hoped as tree felling work is underway.

Good morning 😃
At a crisp three degrees we went on the almost legendary circuit around the Fürwigge. The slowly appearing sun 🌞 shone over the surrounding forest slopes and offered beautiful photo opportunities. A nice morning before work starts again tomorrow for the morning shift.😎

Small, but mighty
The Fürwiggetasperrre is the highest dam in the Sauerland
This drinking water dam supplies the surrounding communities with drinking water. It is fed by 5 streams: Fürwigge, Hülsebach, Verse, Brinkbach and Schürfelder Becke
A nice little circular path leads directly along the dam. A great lounger invites you to linger. I enjoyed this in the glorious sunshine …

A nice tour that my 🐶Opi really enjoyed. Mostly free running .. met some four-legged friends and for me ... no mud and still no residential area 😀.
We "had a wonderful hour"
