Route description Thurnberg Reservoir Route

Starting from the main square, you leave the town eastwards through the settlement and turn right at the fork onto the Kamp valley lakes trail 620 or long-distance trail 06. You walk along the northern shore of the Thurnberg Reservoir to the Thurnberg Dam – always close to the water. The hike runs, except for a short stretch of road around the dam, on romantic forest paths. South of Thurnberg you continue hiking and cross the federal road and Kamp. Where the shore is wider, there are loose settlements. Above the settlements, the return route leads you along the southern side of the lake.
