A hike from Schloss Burg, via the Diederich temple to the dam wall, is very easy to do and there is a lot to see. The hike can be extended by simply doing another lap around the dam itself.

The Sengbachtalsperre is a drinking water dam in Solingen. It lies in a secluded side valley of the Wupper not far from Burg Castle, between the Solingen locations of Höhrath and Glüder. The water reservoir located between forests supplies the residents of the city of Solingen with drinking water. For this reason, the building is usually just called "Solingen Dam" in the vernacular. At times it was also referred to as the "Senkbach dam".
