VolmeSchatz - Local flora and fauna: uniquely beautiful

The long loop around the popular Fürwiggetalsperre dam definitely scores points with its views of the water. Forest paths and small roads lead along above the dam and provide great views again and again, before the trail also meets the dam shore path.Trail conditionsAsphalt & road: 2.9 km - Gravel path: 4.2 km - Nature trail: 1.2 kmWe start at the Fürwiggetalsperre dam parking lot and cross the dam wall. Now we do not follow the direct dam circular route, but keep left and follow the path up the mountain. We cross a section of forest before keeping right at the next junction - further up the hill. The first exciting hiking information board awaits hikers here.We now reach the small settlement of Buschhöh before the path disappears into the forest again for a short time. Further on, we reach the Beckerhof forest ranger station, with a great first view of the dam.Following the path, we keep right at the next fork, whereupon the dam comes into view again after a while: a great view. The next hiking board provides further interesting information.The path now continues above the Fürwiggetalsperre until we keep right at another fork and - after a few meters downhill - reach the dam's shore path. Shortly before the fork, there is a small viewing point with a forest sofa and information board; a small, landscaped path leads "around the back" to the adventure site. Following the path, we finally return to our starting point.
