Hiking

Even if the Neyetalsperre serves purely as a drinking water reservoir and you are not allowed to swim in it, you can hike around it wonderfully. The shore path leads around the water for eleven kilometers in about three hours. You usually walk very close to the water and through the forest, with a lot of peace and without hectic swimming in summer. At dusk, a very special spectacle can also be observed here: the flight of bats. The Neyetalsperre is known as a popular hunting ground for water bats and noctule bats.
