Keltzerbach Crossing

Highlight • River

When going around the Kalltalsperre you can cross the Keltzerbach on stones. Certainly not a problem in summer, but in winter, when the stream carries a lot of water, surefootedness …

View of the Urft Dam Spillway

Highlight • Viewpoint

It's really impressive when the water runs down the funnel. It's so loud you'd think a big vacuum cleaner was running.

Bench with a view of the Kalltalsperre

Highlight • Viewpoint

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.

The time is approximately 1.5 hours. The 35 minutes that Komoot registers is incorrect.

I've been to the Kalltalsperre reservoir many times, but never from Rollesbroich. It's worth it...the forest there is beautiful.

April 9, 2025,Kalltalsperre ab Parkplatz Am Mühlenberg

After an injury and no time, we're finally back on the trail today.
We started at the small parking lot at Am Mühlenberg near Lammersdorf. The detour to the site of the former mill takes us along a narrow forest/meadow path. It could be slippery and wet in the rain.
