Our first trip (4 days earlier) to the Bleibtreusee had been slightly marred by 3 things. 1) The trip was abruptly cut short by a thunderstorm, 2) the café had stopped serving fries on account of the impending thunderstorm, and 3) one of us had used the parking ticket as an in-pocket toy to the point of disintegration.
Take two, and the weather held. Picnics were picnicked and SUPs were SUPed, at times frantically, to avoid drifting into the path of waterskiers being hurled back and forth at break neck speed by something resembling an out of control ski lift. It’s a fun place for sure.
Refusing to accept the day was over as the light fell, we headed unannounced to neighbouring Campingplatz Heider Bergsee looking for a park for the night. It was full, so the Park4Night app (shameless plug) recommended the Wasserturmweg in Brühl.
Okay, it was just a parking lot, but a very pretty and secluded one. And when the breakcore massive went home to their beds, we had another beer and relaxed in pitch black, in what seemed like the middle of nowhere. Still getting used to not getting spooked by that bit.
