nice way, up and down. Total peace. A few times you can see something of the dam. Unfortunately you can not get to the water on this side.

A hiking route is ideal, but don't expect any special vantage points.
1. The route does not lead along the shore (drinking water barrier)
2. Almost exclusively through beautiful forests, but on beautiful paths.

In addition, make sure that you are in good physical condition, as the route is a constant up and down.

The so-called dam route leads around the entire reservoir including Vorsperren and covers nearly 40 km.

The forebay is a forelock. A dam is usually a smaller dam located in front of a dam to hold back impurities (tree trunks, oil, rubble, sediments) carried by the tributaries, which is particularly important for drinking water supply systems.
