Hiking at the Versetalsperre
The hiking parking lot Gasmert is the starting point for hikes around the Versetalsperre. The hiking trail A1 leads on a length of about 11 km over the ridge near Gasmert to the rim of the Versetalsperre. Between the village Gasmert and Niederholte you can enjoy beautiful distant views at many places. On the Gasmert hilltop, the trail runs through the heath areas of the nature reserve of the same name. Here grow mainly dwarf shrubs such as broom heather, blueberry and cranberry.
The Versetalsperre has a capacity of 32 million m3 and is thus the largest dam in the Märkischer Kreis. It is used for drinking water supply, water regulation and power generation. More than 100,000 people are supplied with drinking water from the dam.
