Hiking

The blue miracle of Damm is a retention basin that serves to protect against flooding and, if necessary, builds up the salt flats at the height of the Dammer mill. In the event of a flood, the inflow to the Lahn and consequently to the Rhine is regulated. The idyllic Salzböderadweg leads directly over the top of the dam, from where you can have a beautiful view towards the Eselsmühle up the salt flats. This building is already visible from afar due to its arla-blue color and therefore bears its special name among those familiar with the area.

The water retention devices here are really nice and big. With the bike you have the feeling of driving up the "dike".
