    Hiking

    An extraordinarily beautiful dam wall, which is also the oldest in Europe. The dam wall is crowned by a sandstone lion, which is the emblem of the Gileppe dam. A pedestrian street leads over the dam wall, on the sides of which there are several very interesting information boards. The dam is the starting point for many family-friendly hiking trails. The entire infrastructure at the dam is designed for tourists - trips with the family are fun here.

    Hiking

    A dam that is worth a trip just because of its beautiful structure.

    At a height of 60m, a 13.5m high lion rises on the dam wall. Its weight is 300 tons.
