Hiking

The construction of the Kalltalsperre, which dams the river Kall, began on March 21, 1934 as a government program to create jobs. The construction of the Heimbach dam and the Rurtalsperre Schwammenauel also began in 1934. - The dam was dammed for the first time on January 8, 1936 and inaugurated on August 23, 1936. Since 1926 there has been a connecting tunnel to the raw water transfer. The 3.7 km long Heinrich Geis tunnel leads from the Obersee of the Rurtalsperre to the Kalltalsperre. From there, the 6.2 km long Kall tunnel leads to the Dreilägerbachtalsperre. Source: eifelfuehrer.de/touristische-ziel/stauseen/kalltalsperre
