October 27, 2023, Witznau Reservoir on the Schwarza

A beautiful reservoir is nestled in a valley. You can ride a bike out the back and continue riding, even if there is a dead end sign at the entrance. This only applies to cars. It is most beautiful in summer as it is usually cool and shady there.

This road is currently closed due to danger to life!! There are also extra stones blown up!! Workers are active. We're through today 09/07/23. In places there are extremely many thick 🪨 stones. Please do not drive while it is closed. Otherwise super awesome route.

⚠️ Please note ⚠️ You must not believe the hiking signs. If you follow the hiking signs you ONLY get to the viewing platform "Teufelskueche" and it is above the "Teufelskuechen- Badestelle". You can NOT get to the water from the platform, only from the street side (L154). There is also a small parking area for about 3 cars.

Closed again since May 2023 due to a rockfall. It will likely not reopen to traffic until autumn. The barrier is easily bypassed by bicycle, and the path is clear for 6 beautiful, car-free kilometers. I would generally recommend using this road as an ascent, as there are already many loose rocks scattered in some places. However, I rode it downhill today (June 15th), and even that was manageable without much braking if you pay a little attention.

This picture from the upper end of the lake gives a good indication of the many great views and panoramic views of this circular hike. The sections from Berau to Allmut and the ascent from the Schwarzatal to Berau were good, sometimes challenging hiking trails (when going up or down, absolute surefootedness and really sturdy hiking shoes are required; hiking poles are helpful). In between, the path was concreted or asphalted. Unfortunately, there was not a single bench or picnic area in the entire Schwarzatal section and the ascent to the Fischbrünnleweg; there is still potential for optimization. Fortunately, the small wooden bridge was in good condition and could be used as a rest area.
