You are in the water protection area of the Wahnbachtalsperre, which is considered a particularly sensitive area. Please note that heavy use by mountain bikers leads to the vegetation being disturbed and irreparable damage to trees, bushes and soil can occur. The multi-layered structured forest with the adjoining water change zones serves as a habitat for an enormous biodiversity, which is also endangered. In addition, the forest floor has a filter effect, thereby contributing to better water quality and also serving as protection against erosion. For this reason it is important not to leave the signposted hiking trail. This also applies to viewpoints along the hiking trail. Please do not leave any rubbish behind, take it home with you or dispose of it in the waste bins provided. To protect the drinking water resource, we ask that you comply with the guidelines.
