Only vaguely visible from the Bahntrassenradweg due to the vegetation, but a beautiful reservoir.

The reservoir was not too full today, but it is still worth a visit. There is ample parking and a campsite.

The mountain path leads through an extremely barren and beautiful juniper landscape. Loosened up by the Stations of the Cross and peppered with beautiful views of the valley.

It is a great pleasure to walk over the wooden planks through the unique wetlands near Dahlem. Information signs along the way explain the marshy flora and provide interesting information. In any case, please always stay on the wrong track, otherwise there is a risk of forever sinking into the moor!

The Kronenberger See, in the extreme southwest of North Rhine-Westphalia, is really beautifully located and a good starting point for activities in all directions.
