Eckertalsperre dam

Highlight • Monument

At the secluded Eckertalsperre is usually not much going on, because the next parking lot is far away. Previously, the German-German border ran through the middle of the dam. A landmark on the dam still reminds of it today.

As part of the completion of your tour, I was able to accompany Matthias and Yvonne today.

A really great lap, the best weather, without any rain ... mega trails included. Unfortunately, one was blocked and the storm damage made it impossible to get through.

As always, it was fun and I would love to do it again.
