Tips from the Community
The imposing dam of the Pöhl dam is a real highlight and impresses both from above and below 💪. When crossing it, a wide, almost endless view opens up over the lake, while on the other side the valley drops deep down – a great contrast!

Probably built around 1350. Rebuilt in 1695. Completely rebuilt in 1820 after a fire. The current organ dates from 1925. The church underwent extensive renovations inside and out in 2005. It is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Dam circuit: if you're there, definitely do it. The scenery, the profile, the road surface—everything is top-notch.

This road takes you along a well-paved road over the ridge and through the forest. If you're carrying the momentum downhill, you'll need to be careful at the junction, as it changes to firm, light gravel for about 300m. After that, there's a barrier. At the next village entrance, there's a constant layer of gravel. In the village of Lange, you can easily bypass the construction site on the left.

A fairly large church, visible from far away. It's a good place to orient yourself while cycling.
