Turn-by-turn directions
First, follow the “Wasserpfad” trail in the valley bottom along the “Kleine Kinzig” river to the water works (Wasserwerk). There turn right and then keep to the left uphill to the dam wall (Staudamm). Walk around the lake for the next 8 km (signposts: Staudamm Kleine Kinzig, Stausee/Hüttenbächle, Hüttenhardtsträssle, Weiherhalde, Schwabbachweiher, Kaspersloch, Staudamm Kleine Kinzig / yellow diamond). On the way back to the starting point, you will discover the 2nd part of the “Wasserpfad” following the so-called “Burgstallweg”.
After a nice hike arround the “Kleine Kinzig“ reservoir you can go for a refresh to the Silbersee lake.
