August 7, 2024,Kinzigstausee-Erlebnispfad zwischen Bad Soden/Salmünster und Steinau

On our journey to Schlüchtern, we stopped at the Kinzig reservoir.

After many weeks of forced break, this circular route seemed ideal to test whether I could manage it with my handicap.
Yes, I did it...it was just beautiful 🤩 in the great outdoors.

January 21, 2022,Rund um den Stausee - Ardeas Seenwelt

This morning I walked the Steinau reservoir because I wanted to see Ardea's lake world. Even though it was clear that no particularly great photos could be taken in this weather, I wanted to take the opportunity without claustrophobia (there is always a lot going on around the lake on weekends) and to inspect everything in peace. So far, I've …

To experience that "Bergwinkel holiday moment" with little effort is truly a privilege. Today's umpteenth trip around the reservoir was another special experience. Plenty of wind, waves, and a stunning play of light provided the perfect conditions for a variety of animal protagonists 🦢🦆🐌 in the water (shore) and in the air🦅.

Circular route for families and beginners

The region between Rhön, Spessart and Vogelsberg is an attractive and varied area.

A worthwhile destination is the reservoir between Steinau and Bad Soden-Salmünster. It was built between 1976 and 1982 primarily as flood protection for the Kinzig. Since then it has been a popular local recreation destination. Here you can go pedal boating, …
