View of the Obernautalsperre from the bench

Highlight • Viewpoint

One of the nicest resting places at the Obernau. If you drive counterclockwise, you can recover from the small slope ;-)

The dam offers many beautiful views. You can also run around outside. And leave the paved path.

Obernautalsperre

Highlight • Lake

Always beautiful. Every year there is a great New Year's Eve run.

The circular route around the dam always offers varied views. It is worthwhile in any weather, even if there is a lot of activity when the weather is nice. Then cyclists, runners and walkers need to work together.

Obernau Dam

Highlight • Monument

There is a nice circular route around the dam. The path has no significant gradients and is therefore also recommended for families.

Obernau Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

Beautifully situated dam. On the weekend better not go on the asphalt roundabout, but use the surrounding forest trails, as the normal way is very busy. (Applies to nice weather).
