View of the Urft Dam Spillway

Highlight • Viewpoint

It's really impressive when the water runs down the funnel. It's so loud you'd think a big vacuum cleaner was running.

Bench with a view of the Kalltalsperre

Highlight • Viewpoint

Here you have a nice view of the Kalltalsperre with a bench (if this is not occupied). Best in autumn when the leaves don't block your view.

February 11, 2026,Kalltalsperre – Kallvallei rondtocht vanuit Schluchtwald Kalltal

Today we ventured into the beautiful Kall Valley again, this time under a soft rainy air that added something extra to the landscape. Rain during a walk has a special quality because the scents of the forest intensify, the green takes on deeper hues, and the sound of raindrops on leaves has an almost meditative effect. Where others might stay …

August 29, 2021,Von Lammersdorf um die Kalltalsperre 🌧🌧🌧🥾🦮

We waited almost all day today for better weather. But that was not the case 🤣. So put on your rain gear and go 🥾. Despite or perhaps because of the constant rain, it was a great and exciting hike 👍🏻🌧🌧🌧

April 12, 2025,🇩🇪 20250412 - Runde um die Kalltalsperre und den Biberdamm besucht 🌞🚶🏼‍♀️🚶🏼

We decided on a spur of the moment to take a walk around the Kalltalsperre Dam late this afternoon in perfect hiking weather. 🌞 The path through the ravine forest and the path along the Kelzer Bach stream are particularly beautiful. 🤩 If you'd like, you can extend or shorten your tour here as you wish.

April 9, 2025,Kalltalsperre ab Parkplatz Am Mühlenberg

After an injury and no time, we're finally back on the trail today.
We started at the small parking lot at Am Mühlenberg near Lammersdorf. The detour to the site of the former mill takes us along a narrow forest/meadow path. It could be slippery and wet in the rain.

July 17, 2022,Rund um die Kalltalsperre

The tour around the Kalltalsperre initially led mainly on paved paths through the shady and cool forest. A small detour at the beginning led along a beautiful forest path along fruit trees to the former Lammersdorfer mill, which is commemorated by a cross with a millstone. After the dam is reached, it continues on forest paths and through the Keltzerbach. …
