Nice start for a circular hike in the Eifgenbach valley. It is clear from the start how wildly idyllic this tour is. And the water ripples everywhere.

Stone Archway on the Dhünnradweg

Highlight • Monument

From Maria in der Aue or the Schöllerhof hiking car park you can perfectly hike into the Dhünntal... nice destinations include the dam of the Dhünntalsperre or a hike along the black powder route.

Great Dhünn Reservoir

Here you have a great view of the large Dhünntalsperre, after all Germany's second largest drinking water dam. All around is a lot of nature with many rare and protected species.
