Mountain biking

On holidays and weekends, when the weather is nice, there are relatively many hikers on the way. But in the morning you usually have free travel. The other side of the lake is Forstautobahn - for mountain bikers rather unattractive, but in the sun. On cold winter days quite an argument 😬

In Komoot the connection between this trail and the dam is shown as stairs or steps. However, this has been removed, so the access to the dam is barrier-free (but still very steep and slippery in wet weather).

Mountain biking

The last or first 500 meters near the dam (depending on the direction of travel) are more difficult. The descent starts off as a S1, a bit steeper but enjoyable without people. After the turnoff to the right, it flattens out a bit. A trained mountain biker can manage the first part up from the lake (even without a motor), but after the turnoff to the dam, you need good gearing and balance because it's not very wide.

The section along the lake is a forest highway and therefore good for rolling.
