The Mauthaus drinking water dam - called "Ködeltalsperre" - is one of the largest of its kind in Bavaria. An 11.5 km long asphalt path leads around the "Frankenwaldfjord" and is ideal for hiking, cycling or inline skating.

One of the many rest stops at the dam. The rectangular stones, which are really comfortable, offer opportunities to sit, even tried it in summer;)
