A reservoir on the trail is always a highlight. For the first time I saw the Perfstausee from the Entenberg and then calmly from the Seerestaurant. Recommended.

The dam in the Perftal mainly serves as a flood retention basin. It was put into operation in the early 1990s. Bathing is not allowed here, but a stop is still worthwhile, as there is a restaurant on the shore and in summer there is also a kiosk.
