Zitterpappel Information Board at Talsperrenweg

Highlight • Structure

There are many boards with useful information about trees and animals on the dam path. Not only educational for children...

Schweinebucht at the Steinbach Reservoir

Highlight • Beach

Nice spot that's perfect for a picnic. It is right on the water and a bit off the paved circular route.

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.

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.

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.
