Here you have a nice view of the Kalltalsperre with a bench (if this is not occupied). Best in autumn when the leaves don't block your view.

At the lower end (from where you look, of course) you have a beautiful view of the lower two spurs of the lake. At one you even have the opportunity to observe the work results of a beaver.

September 4, 2021,Rund um die Kalltalsperre 🙋‍♂️

I know why I prefer to go hiking on Tuesdays and not on Saturdays. That was probably today the Tour de France around the Kalltalsperre. If I had got 50 cents for every racing bike or mountain bike we came across, my wife could stay at home for a month. So soon go back to the woods or avoid Saturday. …

Today Conny and I walked quite comfortably around the Kalltalsperre. And quite by accident we met @Maylo with his master, the two- and four-legged friends were very happy. 👍👍👍

Beautiful and easy hike..., easy to walk paths, about 1.5 km of which are asphalt.
The dam serves to supply drinking water and is fenced in all around. Therefore only a few visitors and hikers...
Anyone looking for peace and relaxation is in good hands here.
"Pure nature"....

September 8, 2021,ME & MY on Tour 🚶‍♀️🐾🐾🌳💜 Runde um die Kalltalsperre

I was inspired and went this round with the fur noses today. The classic circular route is even suitable for prams.
Unfortunately it was too wide and not so exciting for me, but it scored points with the beautiful views.
Then I called the fire brigade with fellow hikers, there was heavy smoke in the forest and it smelled badly …

Today we did this hike around the Kalltalsperre in wonderful late summer weather. The pictures speak for themselves. 😊 If you take the loop on the way back over the dam back to the parking lot, then the whole thing is even barrier-free

June 12, 2022,Kallstaudamm – Kalltalsperre Runde von Simonskall

Very nice tour, we will definitely do it again sometime. However, it is a bit longer than stated. At first the GPS turned off.
It's a good 9.5 km

June 18, 2022,Vom Parkplatz Kallbrück um die Kalltalsperre (kinderwagentauglich)

All paths well paved, asphalted or covered with water. Few and only moderate gradients. The entire path is suitable for pushchairs. Pleasant shady sections, so this loop is easily doable even in warm weather. There are several benches along the way that allow for breaks.
