Idyllic valley meadow with a stream in Madbachtal

Highlight • Natural

Nice path from the Hahnenberg to the Maadbachtalsperre. Light beech forest, large clearing in the valley and wet meadows in the upper area alternate.

Madbachtalsperre

Highlight • Lake

The Steinbach dam, which is not far away, is now dry - i.e. after the heavy rain catastrophe of July 2021 - and a green area can be seen instead of water. Here at the Madbach dam, which is basically the little brother in comparison, you can actually still find the reservoir. During our visit there were several two-legged and four-legged bathers in the water...

Pommersbach Stream Crossing

Highlight • River

The small stream is the Pommersbach, which appeared to be more of a small trickle during our visit today due to the prevailing dryness.

Steinbach Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

The photos that can still be seen of the Steinbach dam, which show a large, shimmering blue water surface, are older. After the heavy rain catastrophe of July 2021, due to the amount of water that caused the dam to temporarily break, the dam ran empty. As far as I know, it has not yet been decided whether the dam will ever be closed again and a lake will be dammed.

View of the Steinbach Reservoir from the benches

Highlight • Viewpoint

Nice place for a picnic. Between the trees you can enjoy the sunset mood over the dam in the late afternoon.

Quiet spot with a great view

Highlight • Viewpoint

Very impressive to see the dam without water. The hole in the dam is very big. You can see what the flood has done.
