Personally, the reservoir does not allow me. He is not dog friendly and seems very overweight. The bungalows are close together. Toddlers should not walk around outside without supervision, as there are no steep slopes other than a shield.

Pirk Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

On the north bank of the dam, a path runs directly along the bank. This is a beautiful hiking route where you can enjoy great views of the dam.

Hiking trails from Oelsnitz to the dam are always beautiful.
It's a shame that no effort is being made to make it possible to walk around the dam.

January 12, 2025,📸 🥾 Sonntag Mittagsrunde an der Talsperre Pirk 🤪

📸 For my daily round, the Pirk dam was on the agenda again.
It's always a good place to close my exercise circles, there are enough parking spaces 🅿️, a beautiful area, and always changing photo opportunities 📷
I wish you a nice evening and a good start to the new week.🤪

🥾After rain 🌧️ was forecast for this afternoon, I drove to the Pirk to walk at least a few meters. As soon as we got back home, it started to rain.🌧️
Good timing, I had my pictures in the box 📸 and my 500 tour on Komoot at the same time!! 👍
