Fürwiggetalsperre

A paved walking and circular trail (approx. 4.1 km) leads around the Fürwiggetalsperre, which is also suitable for short breaks and sporty laps. Along the route, elements of an educational trail provide information about nature and the landscape. This is complemented by the themed hiking trail "VolmeSchatz Natur - unsere Flora und Fauna" (approx. 8.3 km), which offers further insights into the regional flora and fauna.

Several benches and three forest sofas with panoramic views invite you to linger. Free parking is available at and above the dam wall; an information board on site provides an overview of the hiking and walking opportunities.

The Fürwiggetalsperre is a drinking water reservoir. It is therefore not permitted to enter the shore area. However, it is possible to visit the outside of the facility at any time.

The dam wall is around 166 meters long and around 29 meters high. On the left-hand side of the dam crest is a monument to the Mark Brandenburg industrialist Karl Berg from 1907. The dam complex with slide towers, slide houses and stilling basins was registered as a historical monument in 2004 and was built in 1902/1904 according to designs by the renowned hydraulic engineer Otto Intze.
