September 23, 2024,Odenthal/Dhünn:Weites Wasserland Große Dhünntalsperre D6 🌦️

The actual Osbachtal hiking car park at Kreusstr 20 is currently closed due to construction work, so I used the nearby car park of the old Bergisches Gasthof Hotel Meyer.
I didn't particularly like the first 2.5 km. It was on asphalt along roads without sidewalks. Unfortunately, people don't drive very slowly there, which is really not good for me …

Cycling via Kürten-Bechem to the starting point and back is a 25 km tour. The circular route offers some truly beautiful sections. Along the way, you'll enjoy a contemplative view of the "Café Kuhstall," which has been submerged in the floodwaters. It's a lovely place to take a break.

We started in Richerzhagen. The way led us over the peninsula of the reservoir, rewarded with a beautiful vantage point for special views of the water area around Viersbach.
We continued over stairs with varied ups and downs through two Siefentäler valleys to Müllenberg.

Small afternoon ride - a little too much asphalt, but otherwise very nice with unusual views of the DTS.
