Greifenbachstauweiher

Highlight • Lake

The dam of the reservoir was built in connection with the construction of the Röhrgraben (Röhr ditch) from 1396 to 1404.

It served as a reservoir for the Röhrgraben and the stamp mills located there.

Beach at Greifenbach Reservoir

Highlight • Beach

A really nice spot for relaxing walks, cycling, walking or circling the reservoir with a stroller. Even at the end of October you can still find bathers ;) and places to stop for refreshments.

I think with the sunshine today everyone was up and soaking up the rays. It was just great. The idea of a longer walk was discarded and the rest of the afternoon was spent sunbathing in the garden.

This time I ran a familiar route with watchful eyes to provide an objective tour test. And one thing is clear - water is always a good idea.

Saturday hike in the Ore Mountains.

The Greifenbach Reservoir is one of the oldest reservoirs in Germany. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greifenbachstauweiher
Today it's a recreational area with many bungalow complexes and campsites.

There are two sections of the circular trail where dogs are prohibited – which didn't bother us or some other furry friends today – outside of swimming season 😉

A very nice little trail in itself, but beware! Hikers with dogs are not welcome; some sections of the trail around the reservoir are generally off-limits to dogs. (Although they just turn a blind eye to this during the off-season.)
