Benches at the Sösetalsperre dam

Highlight • Viewpoint

Great rest area with two benches facing west. On the southern shore of the reservoir, this is the only acceptable break.

From the dam you have a great view over the lake and into the valley, on the walkable wall are niches with seats, perfect for the picnic break, during our visit the boards were ok again and very informative.

Describing the first 5 km as (official) hiking trails is quite adventurous.
In some places they look as if no one has walked through them for 5 years...

Hello challenge cups,
the next reservoir was on the agenda today. Around 14 km in the middle range. Mostly flat, but at the end there are elevation gains on bad terrain.
Until the next reservoir

Great hike around the Sösetalsperre. For me, as a bathing spoiled Mecklenburger, it was a challenge not to jump into the lake. I can't recommend the route on the Sösetalstrasse.

😎The Sösetalsperre allows a wonderful circular hike. The entry into the approx. 12km long circular hiking trail can be made from several places. There are a total of 4 parking spaces directly on the hiking trail, one north and one south of the pre-dam, one north of the main dam and one on a northern branch at the Großer Engelntal. …
