The nearby Steinbach reservoir is now - that is, after the heavy rain catastrophe of July 2021 - dry, and instead of water, a green area can be seen. Here at the Madbach reservoir, in comparison practically the little brother, the reservoir can indeed still be found.

Really cool trail. A bit tricky, as it's very narrow in places. Be careful with the pedals, and on one side it's steeply downhill.

The climb behind the Vischelbach valley is overgrown in the upper part. Here, you must look for an alternative.

The trail itself is beautiful, but you are constantly slowed down by fallen trees.

From the Ahrbogen you have a great view of Kreuzberg and Kreuzberg Castle, which towers above the town.
