The path itself didn't make my heart race. I'm almost bored along the way; the little detours along the way are quite nice. And then...

Circumnavigating the Ohra Dam is worthwhile at any time of the year. Since the circular route is largely asphalted, it is also suitable for muddy weather!

There are no places to stop for refreshments along the way, but there are many nice picnic options, often with a beautiful view of the dam.

All in all, a very nice tour.

Nice hike.
Sometimes quite lonely. There are interesting highlights, waterfalls, great views of the beautiful reservoir.
It was worth walking the 15 km around the reservoir.
