      You can do a nice tour around the dam

        Here are 2 or 3 wooden deckchairs placed, which point directly towards the water.

          One of the highest, if not the highest point on a tour around the dam. It goes pretty far down here, so don't be bullshit!

            Great view over the Wahnbach dam towards the dam.

              Great views and benches to enjoy. There is also a shelter in case it rains.

                With a bit of luck, the great bench will be free and you can enjoy a pleasant break with a great view. In bad weather, a hut offers some protection.

                    What can you not do to get a good view of the big pond?

                      As far as the eye can see you can see in good weather.

                          Great view! I just don't understand where the dead end is supposed to be here?

                          Translated by Google •

                            You are here in the water protection area of the Wahnbachtalsperre, which is considered a particularly sensitive area. Be careful not to leave the hiking trails. This also applies to the viewpoints that are on the hiking trails. Avoiding waste is also very important to us. Therefore, be careful not to scatter your rubbish randomly along the way, but take it back home with you or throw it in the bins provided. To protect drinking water, we ask that you comply with the guidelines.

                              Wahnbachtalsperre is worth it from every direction. The rule is: stop and enjoy the view.

                                        Sometimes it just happens that "highlights" are placed in the wrong position, because you won't find a "dead end" there. But beautiful paths and trails along the shore of the reservoir.

                                          From here you have a good view of the Wahnbachtalsperre.
