June 14, 2026,Rund ums Unterbecken Markersbach

Start directly at the free parking lot Unterbecken Markersbach. Across the dam, the path follows the "Rundweg Unterbecken" marking. Every now and then, you get a view of the Unterbecken along the way. The route leads mostly through forest, so the tour is highly recommended even on hot or slightly rainy days like today. Exciting for children - the witch's …

January 16, 2022,Wanderung ⏺ Rund ums Unterbecken Markersbach, diesmal gut gefüllt ℹ️ 16.01.2022

Today the lower basin was full to the brim. Total contrast to the beginning of September, when I did the rounds around the empty lower pool. But today there was ice on all paths, but everything was passable, although often along the edge. Just a nice ring.

Unfortunately, there wasn't much to see of the reservoir.
The dryness is frightening 😳

October 24, 2021,Kleine Runde zu zweit 👫ums Unterbecken Markersbach

Planned for a long time and after a suggestion from yesterday, we ran together 👫 today. The lower basin is still almost dry. The mills are in winter quarters. On the way home it was again quickly over the Fichtelberg 🌬 at 3 degrees 🥶. From there you could see the missing water in the lower basin, it is in …

September 5, 2021,Wanderung ⏺ Wieder hat das Wasser gerufen: Zum ersten Mal rund ums Unterbecken Markersbach ℹ️ 05.09.2021

Again a must-do. Today around the lower basin .. And what can I say: because there was hardly any water below, it was an absolutely unreal landscape. You think you're somewhere else. Totally thrilling. And it's really ideal for running there. And with "high tide" definitely worth seeing again.
