Rest Area by the Pond

Highlight • Rest Area

Nice rest area at the pond with a beautiful view of the valley.
If you start the "Nat'Our Route 6" in Obersgegen, the course is about halfway - ideal for taking a break.

The reservoir is used to generate electricity. The majority of it is exported to Germany.

Easy way to the lake. Parking available across the street. You can go on a short circuit.

A path directly parallel to the Sauer. Unfortunately it is asphalted and only separated from the road by a guardrail.
