Renaturation of Sorpe and Röhr

Highlight • River

In a joint project in 2014, the Ruhrverband and the city of Sundern significantly changed the course of the water, created new habitat structures and improved the floodplain connection. As a result of the redesign, the Sorpe now has a completely new, heavily tortuous and almost 800 meter longer flow path in its lower reaches. The significantly flatter and wider course of the stream is based on the water type-specific conditions of the Heve in the Arnsberg Forest. The water bed of the Röhr has now been partially shifted to the side and supplemented with high-flow channels.

Sorpesee Dam

Highlight • Monument

The Sorpesee is touristically very well developed. Here you can go diving, rowing, sailing, surfing, camping and, which I think is pretty cool, renting tree houses as accommodation (sorpesee.de/nordic-ferienpark-sorpesee/baumhaeuser-am-sorpesee.html). It is easy to cycle along the "Randweg" along the Sorpe shore.

View of the Lake from the East Shore

Highlight • Viewpoint

Beautiful view of the lake, which offers many bathing opportunities and a great bike path. This leads over the wall and the dams around the reservoir and the Amecke Vorbrecken and is in excellent condition. Sometimes it is shared by skaters and hikers. There are many benches for long breaks. From the entire cycle path you have a beautiful view of the lake. Partly the route leads through very beautiful forest sections.

With this wonderful weather, I finally had to get on my bike today.😎
Unfortunately alone, as Bergfeuerjack is suffering from a stubborn bout of flu.
For the first round of the year, it was only supposed to be a short tour where my bum still wants to be in the saddle.
It was really fun again. 😁

Lots of traffic to and from Sundern, partly narrow but at least cyclist sidewalks. Very nice and relaxed to cruise along the Sorpe

at KM 38.6 my rear wheel said goodbye with a loud bang on the gravel ...
with an emergency patch we could still drive in to Hachen :-)

It was only slightly drizzling today, so from now on in nature and the like 🚲 Happy Weekend @all! In the last picture you can see what pure egoism looks like on the bike...... full throttle without regard, good that the rider reacted correctly 👍 I always slow down the speed when I see riders and always announce myself beforehand …
