The drinking water nature trail between the Lehnmühle and Klingenberg dams combines an experience of nature, exciting history and fascinating insights into the world of water. Along the varied trail, 16 modern information boards invite you to rediscover the precious resource of drinking water and the geological features of the Eastern Ore Mountains.
