Landhaus Heinrichshöh

Highlight • Restaurant

The restaurant / café is very nice. The performance of the kitchen and service unfortunately fluctuates very much. We are very good, but we have also been served poorly underground. The fresh waffles are very popular on Sundays.

Obernau Dam

Highlight • Monument

There is a nice circular route around the dam. The path has no significant gradients and is therefore also recommended for families.

View of the Obernau Reservoir

Highlight • Viewpoint

The circular route around the dam always offers varied views. It is worthwhile in any weather, even if there is a lot of activity when the weather is nice. Then cyclists, runners and walkers need to work together.

September 27, 2023,🇩🇪 gemütliche Tour an der Obernau

...as long as I'm still healing from the blisters on both feet, I'll stick to short walks on easy paths.
Today again at the Obernau dam. New for me is the bike rental station right at the parking lot.

We caught the one hour with rain. You can really see the dachshund's discomfort.

At this time of year (May) it is fantastically beautiful at Obernau. Everything is in bloom: broom, water lilies, lupins, foxgloves, wild carrots and yarrow. It smells of spring and new beginnings.
