It's always nice to do a lap around the Obernau either by bike or on foot, the 10 km are very manageable. A great lake and nobody is allowed to swim in it because they are responsible for the drinking water supply.

The Krombachtalsperre can be circumnavigated well.

The Krombachtalsperre extends over two federal states: the dam is in Hesse, but the larger part of the water surface is in Rhineland-Palatinate. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krombachtalsperre

Very nice reservoir. Circumnavigation is possible for almost 10km. I drove down here from the Jagdberg. Then on the same way back there are some pretty nasty vertical meters.

You are here directly on the dam of the dam and can see a large part of the water surface. The parking lot for hikers is only a few meters further above.

The first earth bores on the dam have been running since Monday (09.08.21), because the water level will be lowered by around three and a half meters. Then we start building the bridge. Forecast until 2027
