VolmeSchatz dams - The South Sea(s) of the region

Probably the most challenging VolmeSchatz, not only because of its length, but also because of the altitude difference. The route is mainly on forest paths and also along the idyllic Jubachtalsperre reservoir, but beware: the route also runs along a country road for a few meters!Trail conditionsRoad & asphalt: 2.2 km - Gravel path: 7.8 km - Nature trail: 1.2 km - Path: 0.2 kmWe start at the Herlinghausen hiking parking lot directly on the Volme and follow the path up to the Jubachtalsperre. The asphalt surface quickly gives way to a gravel path before we reach the dam. On the right-hand side, we take the dam circular path and follow it to the opposite end of the dam. The path now bends and leads us uphill through the Sauerland forests towards Homert. After a longer ascent, we reach the road, which we follow for a few meters, keeping to the left, before the path bends back towards the forest; the Homertturm on the hill is now not far away. This is also a good spot for a picnic break. We now continue along the path, slowly and steadily downhill. Here and there there are great views before we slowly approach the Jubachtalsperre dam. The trail zigzags up to the dam and over the dam wall back to the starting point.
