View of the Wahnbach Reservoir from the relaxation lounger

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Wahnbachtalsperre is worth a hike in every season. Especially in autumn, when swaths of Nevel wander over the water in the morning and the autumn leaves make the surrounding forests shine in bright colors

A hike around the dam is a wonderful experience in every season, especially in spring when the spring flowers unfold their colorful splendor on the forest floor.

Wahnbach Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

Circumnavigating the dam on an approximately 23 km long path, which runs partly on driveways, partly on narrow trails and has a considerable amount of altitude, is a great little adventure. 🥰
