Cycling

The Oleftalsperre protects the surrounding communities from flooding and is used to obtain drinking water. It is very impressive to cycle along this huge reservoir.

Here you can cycle excellently, unfortunately little view of the water.

From farms down through the forest and along fat Oleftalsperre. First on asphalt, then gravel and finally asphalt again.
