Impressive dam, good path. You pass the game reserve and with a bit of luck you can see the eagles at the flight show.

From the dam, you have a beautiful view of Hellenthal. The parking lot at the foot of the dam is also a good starting point for hikes into the forest area surrounding the Oleftalsperre.
