August 17, 2025,Iron Lake Challenge Bavaria: #3 & #11 kleiner & großer Brombachsee

The weather was just right for the tour.
There were a lot of cyclists out and about, but fortunately, the bike paths and footpaths were largely separate.
Since many of the reservoirs were artificially created, they sometimes lacked some of their charm.

A walk around the lake is a pleasure even in bad weather. It all depends on your attitude. Rain cleans the air and you are mostly alone. No rush, no crowds, just me and the path...

January 20, 2024,Ramsberg 》 7./2024 🔁🏞💟⛴️ Brombachsee

Today, accompanied by the most wonderful January sunshine, I walked around the Kleiner and Großer Brombachsee from Ramsberg (Weissenburg-Gunzenhausen district/Middle Franconia) and so I have now hiked and examined all three large lakes in the Franconian Lake District.
🔁☀️❄️🤏🏻🏞🙌🏼

In addition to all sorts of bizarre and pretty looking frost formations, my personal favorites of today's tour were the interesting …

Today the plan was to hike 30km around the Brombachsee. In 3 weeks we're going to the Mammoth March to Heidelberg - 42km and about 1000m of elevation. We didn't climb any meters today, but we did do a good few kilometers. We tested the backpack, shoes and outfit. Only the socks and maybe the shoes should be reconsidered. My …

June 8, 2023,3-Seen-Runde im fränkischen Seenland

A hike in the Franconian lake district was on the agenda for the holiday. The hike not only led around the small and large Brombachsee, but also around the neighboring Igelsbachsee. In the end it was 28.12 km. Even threatening thunderstorms couldn't stop me from planning. Cool but pleasant rain showers were included. A great adventure in average summer weather …

September 1, 2024,🇩🇪 Jakobsweg Challenge Teil 1

Today I tackled the first of five challenge tasks. The first 27 km are in the bag. Today I did a lap around the Brombachsee, of course to see all three so that I could do a decent number of kilometers. At around 33 degrees it was already a challenge today, but the weather was already at its best.

March 26, 2022,Rundtour um den großen und kleinen Brombachsee

The path has its ups and downs. Is one of those "it was nice, but once is enough" hikes.
Only the Great Brombachsee was planned, we then added the small one. Were another 9 km and the route was partly one of the nicer ones.
There is a charge for parking around the lake. I had only seen one, which …
