Hiking

Very steep stairs leading from the valley side to the dam wall. You should bring a bit of fitness with you to climb up here! 😅

Hiking

Very steep steel stairs that you have to climb to get to the Hennesee dam. Here you should bring “condition”. But it's also a little more convenient this way!
