Unfortunately, you can no longer visit the Eisenhammer. The current owner has closed everything and it looks neglected.

In bad weather 🌡️ it is not recommended, as there is a lot of mud. 😁 Otherwise, only the source stone was visible and lots of small streams. 😁

The loop around the reservoir is relatively short, only 3 km, although Komoot indicated around 5 km during planning. But nice.

Great trail. 👍 Be careful in wet weather, though: slippery
