Very idyllic reason. From the bridge you have a good view over most of the dam and into the bottom.

Stone Bridge at Malter Dam

Highlight • Bridge

In about 8km the dam is circled. Beach baths invite you to swim. There is also delicious ice cream.
Unfortunately, you have to walk along a section of the main road, which is not so nice...

A walk around the dam is always possible, no matter the weather.

There are a few parking spaces at the garden center. The route is only partially accessible for strollers. From Paulsdorf onward, the walk is only along the road.

A well-known but always beautiful circuit, once around the Malter dam.

Half of the circuit is hiking trails and the other half is unfortunately just a road.

There are limited parking spaces at the start and finish points.

There are a few places around the dam to enjoy ice cream, the penguin in Malter is highly recommended.

Unfortunately, a large part of the route is on the road. With a little rescheduling, the part in the Paulsdorf area can definitely be redesigned.

This afternoon I walked around the Malter again to see if any water was being released. At the moment it is known that heavy rainfall is forecast and that makes you worry. I experienced the devastating floods in 2002 and that was anything but nice. Last night not much was happening at the dam, so it was all the more …

Hiking and riding the Weißeritzbahn - we managed to do all of that today with a 2-hour stopover in Malter. So we took the Vahn from Kipsdorf to Malter (45 minutes journey time).
The plan was to walk around the dam. So we researched whether it would fit in 2 hours with photography, picnics, pee breaks and whatever else we …

September 3, 2022,Malter: Spätsommer

"Better late than never!" was today's motto. The sun lured us out of the house in the late afternoon and after much back and forth we agreed on the Malter dam. Since I haven't been swimming in the open water yet this year, I packed a towel and bathing suit with good intentions. And what can I say: we had …
