The photos that can still be seen of the Steinbach dam, which show a large, shimmering blue water surface, are older. After the heavy rain catastrophe of July 2021, due to the amount of water that caused the dam to temporarily break, the dam ran empty. As far as I know, it has not yet been decided whether the dam will ever be closed again and a lake will be dammed.

Hiking

Beautiful hiking and forest area down to the Steinbach dam from the hiking car park in Hahnenbergstrasse. Those who haven't had enough of it can walk around the small reservoir

Small dam, which can be circumnavigated on a good 3km long hike.
