October 2, 2023,Tambach-Dietharz entlang der Schmalwasser Talsperre um die Ohratalsperre und zurück 🫶

Be inspired by @𝕾𝖙𝖊𝖕𝖍𝖆𝖓 and tackle this little thing today! With absolutely fantastic weather and thanks to komoot and the impassable paths we used, we discovered a few cool spots. Simply a great corner that you should definitely take a look at, whether on foot or by bike. 🫶 But with some really unchristian gradients. 😅

Starting at the old Tambach Dam, we continued along the Schmalwasser River to the Ohratal Dam. As always, it was very strenuous but also exceptionally beautiful.
