Loop
This scenic loop through the Thuringian Slate Mountains in the district of Greiz leads through a journey close to nature. The trail encircles the Weida Dam, one of the oldest dams in the region, and runs along a varied mix of gravel paths, narrow forest trails and quiet forest roads. A central highlight is the mighty 75-metre-high dam wall and the view of the fjord-like bays that cut deep into the wooded slopes. The route has a few moderate inclines, which repeatedly lead to magnificent viewpoints over the water. The circuit requires a solid level of fitness for the entire distance.
