The Nonnweiler Dam is the largest drinking water reservoir in Saarland and a popular tourist destination. A beautiful circular trail leads directly along the water, offering magnificent views of the reservoir. Especially in summer, the tranquil surroundings invite you to relax and enjoy nature. The clear water and the dense forests surrounding it make this place unique.

For me, "Frau Holle" was always the kind old lady shaking out down comforters. This "Frau Holle" with her hollow eyes gazing out of the rock, however, goes back to the Celtic/Germanic legendary figure who was declared a demon during the Christianization process.
