Nonnweiler Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

Definitely worth a detour. Due to the nature reserve and bathing ban, nature is untouched here and the widely ramified reservoir with its many shelters offers a great view in every season.

From Nonnweiler it goes up to the dam, further over the Hunnenring and the Züscher Hammer back to the starting point. The highest elevation in Saarland is almost imperceptibly exceeded - the Dollberg. Great tour …
