Schmalwasser Dam

Highlight • Lake

Here you can let your soul dangle. A relatively long circular route with a number of beautiful views and places to rest. There are other great highlights in the vicinity. However, you should be sure-footed, because there are many ups and downs, as well as gravel and gravel sections.

You really can't rely on women. 🤣🤣
Now even my youngest is standing me up and prefers to spend the afternoon playing with a friend.😊
Well, that finally gives me the opportunity to look for my dog leash that I lost on the last tour on the Schmalwasser. If anything, it's still on the roller. Do I walk or ride??? …

A beautiful, yet quite challenging (with some tough climbs) tour around the Schmalwasser Dam. The nature there is somewhat wilder than along the Ohra River.
