New Pond

Highlight • Lake

The "New Pond" is near the NSG Köppelmannsberg and in the source area of the Warne. A small footpath leads around the pond. The tree on the path is impressive, incorporating the sign "No entry" 😉

Their purpose is to provide drinking water, flood protection, increase low water levels and generate electricity. The average annual discharge from the Innerste Dam is 60 million m³.

Beautiful views from the Lindtalsweg. The steep ascent is definitely worth it. There are always beautiful rustic benches to linger.

From the Lindtalsweg you have a really overwhelming view of the Innerstetalsperre 😍 After the long and very steep ascent, you can catch your breath here and then tackle the remaining climb with renewed strength. You can swim in the Innerstetalsperre, it is used for all kinds of water sports and you can go around it in connection with the Innersteradweg. Whether on foot, by bike or inline skates. Food and drink is provided about halfway between the start and the dam wall, and the popular ice cream truck stands at the dam wall every day during the season.

The Boketeich is a beautiful spot on earth. In the western area a bridge is broken, but you can get over it on a metal frame of the bridge
