The climb is worth it. You will be rewarded with a very nice view, but unfortunately not of the dam itself. However, you should be careful with children and dogs

Back over the heights and then back to the parking lot. The hut with beer garden at the dam wall is open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. during …

Took advantage of the nice weather and went on a hike to the carved figures from the wood carving festival in June 2024.
Now almost all of the figures are standing and you can go for a nice walk. The tour includes many beautiful views of the Ohrathalsperre.
Thanks to the carvers who carved the beautiful figures and donated them …

November 1, 2025,Ohratalsperre (Touringen Stempel 264 und 266) ☀️

Today I collected the remaining two stamps from the Ohrar Dam. I already had the one from the Gerastollen Tunnel. The weather was mixed today, but still nice for hiking. The rocky outcrop above the dam is magnificent. The beer garden just below the dam is open until November 4th. Then it's closed for the winter.

After a starry and freezing cold night, the sun gave it its all in the morning. It transformed the sky into a vibrant azure blue, as beautiful as could be.
Perfect hiking weather... but where to go 🤔?
After a brief consideration, I decided
to take the path over the Ohratalsperre.

From Luisenthal we went above the Ohratalsperre to the Kulissenfelsen, the nature in this area is wonderfully green.🌲On the way back along the dam we took a detour to Käfernburg, where the remaining forest on the Kienberg is sad.😾🌱
