The reservoir route is marked on the signposted path with a bicycle symbol and the letter B, allowing cyclists to experience the variety of landscapes in the municipality of Sohland within a few kilometers.
Spree meadows and reservoir form the plain before the mountains want to be cycled. However, wonderful views reward the effort of the ascent. The descents are then enjoyable again, and reaching the settlement provides insight into the living and working of people in our region.
