Krombacher Island in the Wiehl Reservoir

It is now visible to everyone from a viewpoint. The viewpoint can be reached via the Nespen hiking parking lot at the junction of the L 324. From hiking trail A 5, which begins there, the path branches off to the right after 500 meters, just past a barrier, through the former railway embankment onto a trail. This leads past the edge of a meadow and then to the left onto a maintenance path maintained by the Aggerverband (Agger Association), which joins the main path. From there, the viewpoint is just a few meters further on.
Guided hikes with forester Michael Fobbe, Daniel Müller-Habbel, or Guido Hennig are offered year-round and provide additional views of the reservoir, as the tours take place on restricted paths. With detailed explanations of the flora and fauna, participants learn all sorts of interesting facts about the reservoir area. Due to the strict regulations governing drinking water reservoirs, endangered animal species have found a new home in and around the Wiehl Reservoir in recent years. The annual program of guided hikes is available at the Reichshof Tourist Information Office.
