AiRlebnisweg at the Sorpesee-Vorbecken
Everyone wants to get back to nature. But preferably not ‘on foot’. We can’t confirm that, because on the AiRlebnisweg trail, everyone really does travel ‘per pedes’. Above, a flock of migratory birds swings loudly across the bright blue sky, while below, a good dozen sailing boats rock up and down at the jetty. Life is slowly awakening on the shores of Sorpeseesee: just the right time for an AiRlebnis. At Sorpeseesee, the AiRlebnisweg in Amecke am Sorpe-Vorbecken is one of the highlights for walkers and hikers: a popular destination for anyone who likes to be active.

Kurpark Langscheid
The Kurpark Langscheid is a place of options: Whether relaxing in the park or fitness action in the “ParKur”. A short walk in between or a lunch break with a view. Anyone who is out and about here definitely has “pulse”, because you have to “climb” the Kurpark from the lake.
Multi-generation Course “ParKur Sorpesee”
The Kurpark Langscheid has always connected the popular lakeside promenade with the center of Langscheid. The “ParKur Sorpesee”, conceived in May 2018, offers a varied program for outdoor sports enthusiasts at 44 exercise stations for strength, skill and endurance. Since the beginning of the Corona pandemic at the latest, we have known about the relevance of open-air fitness, which has since become increasingly popular.
