The paths are evidence from the time before the dam was built, but they have most certainly existed since the time of settlement in the Middle Ages.

The Forchheim fore-dam is a reservoir above the Saidenbach drinking water reservoir in Saxony. It serves this dam for the preliminary treatment and elimination of pollutants. Although it is a fore-dam, it has the dimensions of a large dam. The Haselbach is dammed north of Forchheim in the Ore Mountains. The dam is a two-zone dam with a clay seal on the water side. There is an extraction tower in the reservoir, which also functions as a flood relief device. The dam has been rebuilt several times, including in 1982. (Wikipedia)

In some areas it is possible to hike directly along the banks of the dam. However, some sections are only accessible along the Mauerkronen circular trail.

Cheap and delicious food and drink by the pond. For example, macaroni for €5, what more can you say!
