All small and big explorers are invited to a varied route around the Greifenbachstauweiher. From the parking lot, you walk along the bank of the reservoir through the camping park, past the sandy beach and the forest café. At the inlet of the reservoir, you can discover delicious berries, cotton grass, and other peatland plants. The "Red Water" winds crystal-clear through the idyllic forest here and feeds the Greifenbachstauweiher. Across the ford with a bridge, you hike back towards the reservoir. At the bathing beach, children can enjoy sandy beach, mini golf, an adventure playground, and "Toni's World of Quartz." Here, little treasure hunters can still dig for gemstones or grind their own souvenirs.
