Hiking

The Schwarzenbach Dam is the most important structure of the Rudolf Fettweis Pumped Storage Power Plant. Completed in 1926, the dam collects water on the eastern slope of the rain-rich main ridge of the northern Black Forest. Water from the Murg River is also pumped into the reservoir, as the facility serves to balance the energy supply. The gravity dam is 400 meters long and 65 meters high. The lake is over two kilometers long.

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