    Tips

    October 18, 2017

    In the direct catchment area of the Great Dhünn Dam, numerous hiking trails invite you to explore. The tours have one thing in common: the relationship to water. Because Dhünn and Eifgenbach are constant companions on the paths. This is why the hiking area is also known as the “Dhünn plateau - the region's waterworks”.

    An impressive and varied landscape awaits you here, characterized by a lively topography, large forest areas and open meadows. The award-winning long-distance hiking trails such as the Bergische Panoramasteig and the Bergische Weg also run along the dam. The former leads through the region over a total length of 246 kilometers. On the Bergischer Weg you can hike from Essen to the Drachenfels. In addition, the forays developed by the Bergisches Wanderland set thematic priorities and take up historical or cultural aspects, for example.

    The Vorsperrenweg and other routes of the Sauerland Mountain Association and the Wupper Association offer a wide range of information about the special features of nature as well as unique views of the water.
