Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Not the hardest climb on the reservoir circuit, but still gets your legs moving. But the views are worth every strenuous climb!

View of the Hohenwarte Reservoir

Highlight • Viewpoint

Upper Balancing Reservoir Amalienhöhe

Highlight • Lake

The equalization basin is almost a monumental structure. It lies like a huge basin in the landscape and can be completely circled by bike or on foot.
