Around the dam there are good root paths with which even beginners can guess good on trails.

October 15, 2024,Trail Running: Rund um die Talsperre Heyda

Once again working away from home, this time in the beautiful Thuringian Forest. And since my accommodation is right next to the Heyda dam, a walk around the dam was a good idea this morning.

Since the sunrise is relatively late at the moment, there was a very mystical atmosphere with the mist on the lake when I set off.
