Hiking

Impressive dam, it is also possible to walk around the lake. The Westweg long-distance hiking trail leads right past it. It is the largest reservoir in the northern and central Black Forest.

Hiking

Large dam that can easily be walked around or by MTB, approx. 7 KM. Of course, it primarily serves to generate electricity from ENBW.
