Nonnweiler Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

Definitely worth a detour. Due to the nature reserve and bathing ban, nature is untouched here and the widely ramified reservoir with its many shelters offers a great view in every season.

Since it wasn't supposed to rain today and we didn't want to go on a long tour, we drove to the reservoir in Nonnweiler and walked around it.

Went on a hike in my home town today in picture-perfect weather. I started at the Hunnenring parking lot in Otzenhausen and hiked counterclockwise around the dam. Have a nice hike.

Here at the Primstal Dam, you almost feel like you are in a Norwegian fjord, especially in winter, especially on a cloudless day like today. And at the end of the day at the Landhaus Spanier just around the corner, the culinary reward follows in a remarkable way.

Small hike in the solar system. From the sun to Pluto at four times the speed of light. Back on earth, it went on to the Zurich hammer and the water spectacle on the Altbach. From there along the dam back to the dam.
