Sc h ön kleine Runde um den Stausee.

A leisure complex with a wide range of activities was created against the impressive backdrop of the Hillesheim city wall. The area around the lake and the biotope is very close to nature: hiking, cycling, jogging and walking routes of various lengths lead through the beautiful stream valley, including the Eifelsteig and the Kalkeifel cycle path. Numerous information boards on the integrated forest ecology trail and the information pavilion by the lake provide an informative background. Here you can find overviews of geology, ecology and the themed trails in the valley. Barefoot path in the Bolsdorfer Tälchen This new connection to the earth is fun and healthy at the same time. This path offers foot massages from gentle to strong as you walk past and a rediscovery of the feeling in your feet while walking over a variety of surfaces. The 1.5 km long barefoot path has 22 stations. Source: https://www.eifel.info/a-naherholungsgebiet-bolsdorfer-taelchen

The biotope is part of the renaturation measures in the Bolsdorfer Tälchen, which are intended to counteract climate change and increasing amounts of rain and water. More retention areas should be created throughout the valley to protect Bolsdorf from flood damage.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the village priest bred trout in the maar, which was around 100,000 years old. In the 1920s the water was drained and its quickly overgrown, fertile ground was used as a viewing area. 80 years later, scientists proved that this was a silted maar. During a core drilling, 23 m of animals found tuff remains from the Laacher See eruption 13,000 years ago. In addition, the funnel lies on a geological fault line that runs from northwest to southeast. The renatured maar is around 120 meters in diameter and offers a biotope for numerous birds. When the maar was revived from 2007, the Oosbach was dammed. Source: 111 places in the Eifel that you have to see Further information: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eichholzmaar

Idyllic lake in the middle of the forest. Swimming is clearly allowed here, as the sign on the shore makes clear. Clear recommendation to swim and linger. The peaceful coexistence between swimmers and anglers is noticeable🐟🕊️🏊‍♂️
