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.

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.

You are here directly on the dam of the dam and can see a large part of the water surface. The parking lot for hikers is only a few meters further above.
