A lakeside stage overlooking the Zeulenroda reservoir. Events take place here several times a year.

This is not Pirk, but the Zeulenroda Dam

The path is completely overgrown in late summer, with roots everywhere. It's no fun, even on an e-MTB. It's the first time I've ever caught a tick on my bike... Plus, you can barely make any progress. In an hour, I didn't even manage a quarter of the way around without dawdling.

Went down today... some parts were pretty tough. Rode with Flyer Uproc 2.1, and it was just about manageable. I would recommend not doing it without propulsion... the narrow trails go up and down very steeply... with some tough sections in between.
