Great nature and a very nice hiking trail that leads directly around the dam and always keeps the view of the water. Just right for a Sunday outing...

The goose has to go. No matter how - from the stomach. So let's take a quick look on the beautiful circular route and see what else awaits us in the valley... oh yes, the Töppel is full!

Today, after the early shift, we went to the Klingenberger dam with a detour to the matchstick bridge.
The dam is a beautiful small dam with two places to stop for refreshments, which are located near the dam wall, there is none on the circular path of the dam.

Into the blue! A lot of water from above was announced, in reality the water was always there before us. It swam away in front of us and then remained calm in the well-filled dam and also above our heads.
Today we treated our tired bones to a few meters in altitude. It was a leaf-rustling, water-splashing and mud-smacking round …

Today, with slightly cooler temperatures, I preferred to hike and leave the bike in the warm. A circular dam trail with very few hikers? 🤔.... Was it the temperatures? 🤔
