Beautifully situated dam. On the weekend better not go on the asphalt roundabout, but use the surrounding forest trails, as the normal way is very busy. (Applies to nice weather).

The dam in the Perftal mainly serves as a flood retention basin. It was put into operation in the early 1990s. Bathing is not allowed here, but a stop is still worthwhile, as there is a restaurant on the shore and in summer there is also a kiosk.

In this idyllic spot is the source of the Lahn, which is hidden in a pond. Right next door is the forester's lodge and a few meters further along the road is a second country inn. You can stop and spend the night in both.

The Obernau dam with its circular routes is always worth a visit. Clear recommendation to leave the paved path directly on the water and try a slightly larger arc over the forest paths.
