Highest Point in the Lahn-Dill District

Highlight • Summit

A rather inconspicuous spot in the immediate vicinity of the Jagdberg.
The highest point is a little further off the beaten track. The sign was brought forward some time ago.

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.

Cycle path between Netphen and Dreis-Tiefenbach

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

It begins with a side street in the industrial area (don't miss the branch!) And then the newly built cycle path near the Sieg winds its way through the meadows …

Obernau Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

Beautifully situated dam. On the weekend better not go on the asphalt roundabout, but use the surrounding forest trails, as the normal way is very busy. (Applies to nice weather).

It's always nice to do a lap around the Obernau either by bike or on foot, the 10 km are very manageable. A great lake and nobody is allowed to swim in it because they are responsible for the drinking water supply.

The Forsthaus Hohenroth is always a popular excursion destination. Some hiking and circular hiking trails start from here. It offers a beautiful, unfortunately (or fortunately) also very popular restaurant/café. The game reserve offers beautiful animal viewing, especially during the rutting season, and the attached woodland information center rounds off the offering. In some places, regional activities and programs also take place around the forester's lodge. The Kyrill path and the Eder spring area are not far away and the forester's lodge has its charm at any time of the year, but especially in winter with snow.

My tip to always drive when others are still sleeping. Then you have the paths to yourself.

Very nice reservoir. Circumnavigation is possible for almost 10km. I drove down here from the Jagdberg. Then on the same way back there are some pretty nasty vertical meters.
