Greifenbachstauweiher

Highlight • Lake

The dam of the reservoir was built in connection with the construction of the Röhrgraben (Röhr ditch) from 1396 to 1404.

It served as a reservoir for the Röhrgraben and the stamp mills located there.

Greifenbach Valley

Highlight • Gorge

A very nice shady valley. The path leads along the stream and is also suitable for bicycles. Along the way there are always information boards and one or the other attraction to the mining history of the valley.

Like most hikers and mountain bikers, I'm not a fan of harvesters at all. But the one in the photo has proven that you can use them to clear areas without turning the trails into impassable mud pits...
