Hiking
The drinking water dam in Frauenau was created due to a lack of groundwater in the Bavarian Forest and was built from 1976 to 1983. The drinking water dam is a worthwhile excursion destination and serves as a starting point for many hikes through the Bavarian Forest National Park.
The tributaries are the Kleine Regen and the Hirschbach, which rise in the unpopulated area between Falkenstein and Rachel.
There are also some beautiful hiking trails with wonderful views that lead around the reservoir and towards Kleiner Rachel and Großer Rachel or Kleiner Falkenstein and Großer Falkenstein.
