    Tips

    A piece of German history, here the border between the former FRG and the GDR ran through the Eckertalsperre.
    Nowadays unthinkable in this idyllic place.
    Cycling is prohibited on the Eckertalsperre dam, stairs lead down to the dam. But you can take your bike down with you through the grooves (pushing aids) next to the steps and then you just push a bit. So you can and may also climb the dam wall as a cyclist.
