But the Sauerland-Seen lakes are also perfect for an extended day trip in autumn when the sun's rays glisten on the gently undulating surface of the water.

Relaxation seekers use the backdrop to find their inner self again with yoga exercises and to take in their surroundings with all their senses. Dip your feet briefly into the autumnal cold water and your circulation is stimulated again - simply invigorating.
