Schevelinger Dam

The dam wall belongs to the very idyllic small reservoir with a feel-good character. The associated circular route can be hiked by children with a bobby car to seniors with an assistant. There are also enough break benches.

The Silbertalsperre or the Schevelingen Dam with its water depth of almost 13 meters is referred to as the "little sister" of the Neyetalsperre. Their job is to clean the (drinking) water by removing the pollutants. The cleaned water then flows through a tunnel to its "big sister", the Neyetalsperre.

The dam can easily be hiked in about half an hour. The hiking trails are close to water and well developed.

Between the Neyetalsperre and he the Kerspetalsperre, near Hönnige (town of Wipperfürth in the Oberberg district) is the Schevelinger dam, also affectionately called the silver lake. The accumulation of water of 0.3 million cubic meters of water already shows that the dam is rather small compared to its large, neighboring sisters. The advantage is that you can take a leisurely walk around it without much preparation.
