Versetal Reservoir (Versetalsperre)

Highlight • Monument

Firstly, you have a magnificent view of the reservoir from here.

Secondly, countless hikes can be started from the trailhead parking lot.

Short and long – flat and challenging.

Schäfer's Bruchbach Beef Farm

Highlight • Structure

Best meat from naturally kept animals. Everything in the yard from birth to formwork. Long queues when meat is sold. But it's worth it.

View of the Verse Reservoir

Highlight • Viewpoint

Since the Versetalsperre is purely a drinking water reservoir, the bank area is surrounded by dense vegetation. At the places where there are benches, you usually have a good view of the water.

March 18, 2022,Runde von Lüdenscheid nach Herscheid über Hardt, Stuberg, Holte, Versetalsperre

Cozy and nice round mostly over side roads. And of course I also wanted to test whether the cycle path from Silberg to Hardt is finally open: Unfortunately, it is still closed for incomprehensible reasons and nobody sticks to it because it has been completely expanded. Now you could finally safely drive down the Silberg curves if the barriers weren't …

... that means:
By bike to the doctor and back again
Because it's much easier to do it by bike than by car and hobble 1km from the parking lot to the doctor's office.

Bicycle tour past the Versetalsperre with a detour to Neuenhof Castle, back via Bierbaum, along the Versetalsperre, Oberholte and the Nümmert
At the Versetalsperre it already looked like autumn because of the brown leaves that lay on the path.

August 17, 2022,Feierabendrunde - Stadtradeln (2)

After work tour around the verses incl. return journey through the beetle battlefields Böllenberg, Piener Kopf and Nümmert. The sign "wildlife zone" almost directly next to the harvester comes across as very ironic... I hope I didn't overlook any more on the piece (- that is, signs, not harvesters.)
I thought it was funny when Kommot asked me at the …
