Loop
This hike takes you around the Hillebachsee lake near Niedersfeld, a district of Winterberg in the Sauerland region. The route starts right at the parking lot at the Hillebachsee leisure facility, right next to the bathing bay and the water ski facility.
The trail runs as a barrier-free loop directly along the shore. Grey herons and ducks can often be seen in the adjacent wet meadows and shoreline woodland, while trout are native to the clear waters of the mountain lake. In the summer months, colorful wildflowers such as meadowsweet bloom along the path. The entire route is asphalted, completely flat and very well maintained.
