Large, well-made information boards provide detailed information about the Nagold Dam. With this retention basin, the floods in Altensteig are history

The anthill is located right next to the hiking trail.

Walked all the way around the Nagold Dam 🥾🥾
It was quite icy ❄️ in places on the sidewalk next to the road. At the Café Restaurant Seeheiner, they were busy getting the completely icy ❄️🅿️ parking lot under control. The way back was in the sun ☀️and all the ice ❄️ had thawed. We also took our snack break …

Since we have our motorhome garage very close by, we took the opportunity and drove to the Erzgrube to get some fresh air. Unfortunately, the dam is almost empty, but it was still nice to see something different. And we're feeling wanderlust, but unfortunately we can't start with the motorhome this spring. Sometimes there are other priorities🤷🏻‍♀️ - but it's …

Super nice little hike around the dam. Great hiking trails and very clean. Afterwards we go to one of the many beautiful bathing spots around the lake 🤗💦☀️

Did a lap around the reservoir early (half past 6), it will be too hot for that later ;-) views of the lake and the surrounding forest with lots of foxglove and steep spruces towering above us. Soon, a delicious breakfast in our holiday home in Grömbach. The Schwarzwald is so beautiful. 🖖🏻🖖🏻

Today circled the entire reservoir with a length of just over 6 km. There were very few people about. The Nagold Dam was built between 1965 and 1970. The main reason was the regular flooding with high damage in the town of Altensteig.
