Very light but also beautiful path that leads around the Falkenstein reservoir. The path is asphalted and therefore very suitable for pedestrians, inline skaters, and cyclists. Along the way, you can get drinks and food at two snack bars. When the weather is nice, swimming is also possible.

Originally built in the 1970s for domestic water supply, the reservoir is now a local recreation area. It is an EU-approved bathing water with a forebay as a children's paddling pool. Additionally, rowing boats can be rented during the summer months. Two snack bars are open in the summer.

Shady resting spot with a pointed roof, next to it stands a single bench. Last chance for a rest before crossing a wooden bridge and then going steeply upwards.

The rest area lies deep in the valley below, beneath the mighty trees. It's usually pleasantly shady in summer.

A charming town hall, very prestigious. Dating from the early 20th century, it features a park and water feature in front.

This is the first time you see the dam. You should still take the little detour to the dam. It's a beautiful view from up there.
