At the Eibenstock reservoir / Marienweg

Our hike starts from the parking lot at the forebay at the Ganzmeilensäule and two hiking boards at the beginning of the Marienweg. It immediately leads into the forest on a forest path. After about 150 m, we turn right, where the third hiking board is already standing. Now it goes steadily uphill until we reach a shelter and the next hiking boards. We keep right and then pass a pile of wood and another hiking board on a short left-right-left, until we finally reach the Kneipp basin. Here you can take a short break or cool your feet a bit. Then the path continues towards the reservoir dam. Along the way, there are still some hiking boards. There are several resting benches en route. Until we reach the next intersection, where we again turn right towards the dam. After a short up and down, we slowly approach the dam. However, it can only be viewed from a distance initially. Only after passing some garages and then turning right on a short narrow path through the forest and a staircase do we reach a paved road. On the paved road, we then turn right again and reach the dam after about 300-500 meters. The dam is walkable and you can enjoy the view here. From here, it goes back the same way to the beginning. So those who have not read all the hiking boards yet, can catch up now.

I wish you a lot of fun hiking. :-)
