(As of: August 7, 2026) Circular Bike Trail :aqualon
The central theme of the approximately 53 kilometre long route is water. The :aqualon Loop offers magnificent views of the protected valley reservoir landscape and the wonderful natural surroundings at several points along the way. In addition to this, cyclists can also explore the region’s sights and meander along the historical traces of the water industry - for example by climbing the Hindenburg tower.
The route gets its name from the :aqualon project, which is to combine the pillars of (water) industry, science, experience (local recreation and tourism) and teaching (extracurricular place of learning) at its competence centre at the Großen Dhünn valley reservoir. www.aqualon-verein.de
