      One of the many small dams around here. Always worth a visit for a short hiking tour!

        Anyone who has gone through the Dhünntal to the barrier will get a look at the area of the dam for the first time.

            Despite the good panoramic view, you can only see a fraction of the dam :)

              Unfortunately it was very crowded today. But exactly this bank was free, great view over the reservoir.

                The trees here have been removed and cut down. Still a nice view

                  "... The Great Dhünn Dam of the Wupperverband was built between 1975 and 1985 and is primarily used to provide drinking water. The treatment of the water into drinking water and the transport to the supply networks is the task of the five supply companies involved: the Wuppertaler Stadtwerke AG (WSW), Stadtwerke Solingen GmbH, Energie und Wasser für Remscheid GmbH (EWR), Energieversorgung Leverkusen GmbH (EVL) - which jointly founded the Bergischer Drinking Water Association GmbH (BTV) in 1973 - and the water supply association Rhein- Wupper (WVV).
                  In addition, the Great Dhünn Dam also contributes to flood protection and low water elevation for the lower reaches of the Dhünn.

                  To protect the water from pollution, the Great Dhünn Dam is surrounded by a water protection area. An approx. 100 m wide strip of shore is a water protection zone and may not be entered by walkers. Water sports are not permitted at the Great Dhünn Dam. In the surrounding area, however, there are excellent opportunities for hiking and recreation. ..."

                    Here and there the dam can be seen. It is never seen in its entirety, and it is large...

                        The view of the Lindscheid dam is particularly beautiful when the weather is sunny.
