View of the Diemelsee Dam

Highlight • Viewpoint

The view of the dam is impressive, above all beautiful cladding with stones, no dreary concrete!

View of the Diemelsee Dam

Highlight • Viewpoint

Unfortunately, the view is quite overgrown, so that the dam can hardly be seen here. You have a better view a little higher from the summit of the Eisenberg or the via ferrata there.

View of the Diemelsee from the summit cross

Highlight • Viewpoint

You have a clearer view at the summit cross a little further down. At the shelter, the vegetation is a bit higher. Benches available for picnic 🧺

January 19, 2024,Diemelsee ⏩️ Panoramablick & Staumauer ❄️❄️❄️

What a great winter tour today 😊
I haven't walked through such untouched snowy landscapes in ages. Estimated 15-20 cm ❄️

November 5, 2021,Eisenberg und Diemelseesperre

Today without rain. Without fog. Without disgusting weather.
For that reason alone it was more fun than yesterday.
The autumn round brought us from the Diemelsee barrier to the Eisenberg. On the way a few adventures through storm damage. A strong wind played forest micado on a slope here recently and then left everything behind, including on the way.
Regardless, …

Last part of the Diemelsteig from the dam back to Heringhausen. The weather held up and there were some nice viewpoints.

September 16, 2021,Diemelsteig Etappe 4 - Staumauer bis Heringhausen

Day 4 of the Diemelsteig. Ho finito. E stato un piacere per me. Unfortunately, my Italian doesn't offer any more. Today's departure went from the dam wall over the Eisenberg back to Heringhausen. Nice if you can run down the hill at the end. A little bit to Bad Arolsen today, if you're already in the area, a few more …

September 17, 2021,Diemelsteig 4. Etappe von Helminghausen nach Heringhausen

Short final stage. After a really nice accommodation in the night, we first went to the dam. From there a crisp ascent to the Eisenberg and then a steep descent to Heringhausen. All in all, the entire Diemelsteig was a very nice tour. 😁

July 23, 2025,⛰️ Diemelsteig Etappe 2 ⛰️ – Staumauer bis Heringhausen 🌤

That was spontaneous!

After the first stage, I immediately added the fourth (or second for me) stage, as it's relatively short at about 6.2 km.

My legs weren't tired enough yet 😃

May 18, 2023,Rundweg am Diemelsee - Von Heringhausen zur Staumauer über den Diemelsteig

A nice little hiking tour through the forest with many views of the Diemeltalsperre with dam and the surrounding mountains and valleys.
I can't understand the rating as 'Hard' in Komoot.
The steeper ascent is a bit more strenuous but easily accessible.
All other paths can be managed by every hiker. Of course, this is not suitable for prams and …
