About this experience
Pure nature!
In this natural paradise, away from public traffic, you can enjoy a relaxed tour on a Segway. Starting near the Meura Haflinger stud farm, the route takes you on an asphalt road to the Leibis dam. We drive past rock formations, sculpture benches and viewing pavilions over the second highest dam in Germany at 102.5 m. In the information center at the dam there is a lot of interesting information about water and the dam. On the way to the Deesbach reservoir we pass the Urian rock, one of the most beautiful viewpoints in this idyllic mountain landscape.
