At the Dörrhöhe (508m), the calorie trail meets the Hilchenbacher Höhenring, which leads uphill from the Hilchenbacher center. At the Dörrhöhe there is not only a fitness center, but also a Vesperinsel with a beautiful view over the 58ha wide Breitenbachtalsperre.

Nice tour around the Breitenbachtalsperre. From time to time beautiful nature trails and views. Unfortunately many sections of forest have been cleared, but they have been replanted, so that the overall picture will certainly change in a few years.
