Today I had to change my mind at short notice...it was going south, so I had to go through my old planned tours...I haven't been to a dam in a long time, and the Goldisthalsperre has been on my list since September 2, 2020! It's about time...
The paths were very varied...from gravel to asphalt to beautiful forest paths.
There …

What a dream tour!! You can walk around the dam wonderfully on idyllic paths. The signage is top notch. On the west side, the circular route runs parallel to the Schwarzatal Panoramaweg. There are many benches that invite you to take a break. Unfortunately, that was not the case on the east side...

Today we took a look at the Goldisthal dam. Super reservoirs migration. If you are looking for a lot of peace and quiet, you have to hike and relax here. Thought we were alone here until the pre-lockdown...very nice area for hiking anyway. It was a nice Sunday here in the Goldisthal dam area...😎🌞🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️👍🏻👏🏻😅🤣😂🌞🌞🌞

March 24, 2022,Traumpfad: Goldisthal Rundwanderweg um die Talsperre / Schwarzatal

Two hiking friends were out and about again today. 🥾🥾🍀🥾🥾
The hike started not far from Katzhütte, on the outskirts of the village of Goldisthal. We followed the signs for the dam circular route, the turbine. Right at the beginning, after a small ascent, we were rewarded with the first wonderful views.😇
One bank followed the other, many beautiful resting …

Today I'm off to Thuringia. I've been wanting to hike the Reservoir Trail for a while. It's a nice loop around the reservoir in the Prinz. Beautiful views and great trails. But... some long and steep climbs. Little shade. A lot of the forest has disappeared here, too. Then you walk along paths and suddenly there's barrier tape because of …

A classic tour around the Goldisthal Dam. Plenty of uphill and downhill. Partly forest roads, but also many beautiful natural trails. Definitely worth it.
