The photos that can still be seen of the Steinbach dam, which show a large, shimmering blue water surface, are older. After the heavy rain catastrophe of July 2021, due to the amount of water that caused the dam to temporarily break, the dam ran empty. As far as I know, it has not yet been decided whether the dam will ever be closed again and a lake will be dammed.

The Eulenbach has dug deep into the terrain and the drought of the past summer has left its mark on the ponds. The water system seems to be completely out of balance here.

Wonderful hidden corners. Pick blackberries in summer and enjoy nature...

It is worth going down the small paths to the lake. You are guaranteed to come across many surprises. Hidden boats, water lilies...

Easily walkable path in a beautiful stream landscape.

Absolutely not suitable for a normal road bike - perfect for a mountain or gravel bike.

The "Donatussee" is one of more than two dozen bodies of water in the "Ville" between Brühl and Liblar, which offer hikers a wonderful variety of walks in the woods.
