A nice tour with Jana and Annette. The suggestion came from Jana and it was really great.

Start at the free hiking parking lot. The tour first follows the water education trail. You quickly reach the forebay and cross the intermediate dam. It's wonderful how views of the Eibenstock reservoir open up again and again on the first section. The way back is a bit far from the reservoir, but it is also scenically beautiful. The tour …
