マーシュバッハの湖・トップ6

ドロントタールダムは発電に使われています。タービンを備えた関連発電所はロイウェンにあります。

A little tip: Sections 6-7 from Heidenburg to the Drohntalsperre are very densely overgrown (nettles, thorns, etc.). This path is not passable.

The natural Kneipp pool is very cool.

The cool water is good for your feet after the hike

the talsperre was almost dry when we came here. Water was pumped out through pipes to carry enough water to the Moselle.

The Morbach rowing club MRC was founded spontaneously, of which Jakob Maria Mierscheid is honorary chairman and most active member to this day. As a forward-looking person, he is of course a canoeist and is still unbeaten in his age group. What was not taken into account: The construction of the huge facility became an ideal living space for. the Morbach long-range frog (Rhacophorus Morbachus), which was believed to be extinct for a long time, was created, which found ideal landing areas here. Of course, all activities had to be stopped and the magnificent lake landscape silted up over time - except for this sparse remainder.Jakob Maria Mierscheid would not have been Jakob-Maria Mierscheid if he had not found a solution for this too: he was not only a source of ideas, he cared also about the high subsidies for the construction of today's water sports facilities on the Dhron. Here, a high amount of millions could be invested in adequate compensation for the loss, which cleverly also serves as flood protection for the Moselle communities. The nearby wind turbines of the energy landscape do not affect the long-range frog any further, but be extremely attentive and use this sign as a cover if necessary,

You stand in front of the modest remnants of a huge artificial lake landscape, which was created at the instigation of Jakob Maria Mierscheid for a unique purpose: the improvement of the location factors for hosting the Summer Olympics in Morbach, so that Germany has a real chance of hosting the upcoming Olympic Games Jakob Maria Mierscheid campaigned for Morbach in 2001. »Morbach offers many advantages: It has space and short distances. A small community has never hosted the Olympic Games; Morbach would therefore stand for the country, the region, the area par excellence. Morbach has a large airport (this is of course Hahn Airport - also converted from a US military base to an Olympic airport to improve the location factors) with free capacities nearby. Morbach has accommodation options, because there are many large free German and American military properties in the Hunsrück with buildings, halls, lawns and everything you need for sport. Morbach has water - the dammed up Moselle for rowers, canoeists and sailors, and when you open a weir, the canoe slalom course, which doesn't even have to be built. [..] Morbach has no drug problem. [..] Morbach stands for games in nature. Morbach has by far not as many debts as Berlin, Hamburg and all the others. «As with all Mierscheid projects, the confidence on site was boundless. Construction work for the venues began immediately, and optimal conditions for the rowing competitions could be created here at this location.

The Hoxeler Viaduct, as it was used for military purposes, was a primary and successfully destroyed target in World War II. Several bomb craters testify to the intense bombardment. Some of them are now filled with water and have become real biotopes.
