The Great Dhünntalsperre, fed by the two springs of the Dhünn River, is the second largest drinking water dam in Germany after the Rappbode Dam

Always good for a short walk, e.g. after eating in one of the Rondorf restaurants.

"At around 40 kilometers, the Dhünn is the longest tributary of the Wupper. However, the water from the Dhünn only accompanies the Wipper for a short distance, because it flows into the Wupper in Leverkusen. Shortly thereafter, the Wupper flows into the Rhine. The Dhünn is best known as the city river of Leverkusen and for its dam, the Great Dhünn Dam and its upstream dam. The two headwaters of the Dhünn converge in the Great Dhünn Dam before merging into the actual river. The source arms are referred to as Big Dhünn and Small Dhünn according to their different lengths. In the past, many areas of the Dhünn were used for fish farming and hydroelectric power generation. However, as part of comprehensive renaturation measures, a large part of the old weirs were dismantled. In addition, since 2010, the Dhünn has been the first river without weirs and other obstacles that is barrier-free for fish and other water dwellers." https://hochwasserportal.wupperverband.de/Gew%C3%A4sser/Dh%C3%BCnn/

The view is beautiful, a great place to take a break

At the moment everything in the Eifgenbachtal is a fresh green, almost all the bridges have been repaired after the flood last year and where there is no new bridge yet, there is a tree a few meters away that you can use to cross the stream. I did it yesterday😊 A really great hiking area and there isn't much going on there during the week.

One of many beautiful views.

The circumnavigation of the Vorsperre is very varied. Due to the storm damage, not all paths are currently (02/28/2022) passable. However, there are ways to get past the fallen trees everywhere.

At the Eifgenbach there is still "pure nature".
