    Here you can let your soul dangle. A relatively long circular route with a number of beautiful views and places to rest. There are other great highlights in the vicinity. However, you should be sure-footed, because there are many ups and downs, as well as gravel and gravel sections.

      The dam was built to supply drinking water.
      The construction period was from 1988 to 1993.
      After a long trial period, it was put into operation in 1998. The total storage space is a little over 20 million cubic meters.

        The Schmalwassertalsperre has the highest rock embankment in Germany at 76 m above the valley floor. It serves to provide drinking water as well as flood protection. When hiking along the dam road to the Falkenstein, one thinks of Norway or Canada.
