Teufelsküche Path Closes for Tree Felling Ahead of Dam Renovation

The closure begins a two-phase project pending final permits.

Overview

  • The footpath from the guesthouse to the dam is shut from Monday for roughly two to three weeks to allow felling and site setup, with warnings about heavy equipment and falling debris.
  • Stadtwerke Landsberg says the current phase includes tree removal, construction-site installation, and a new nature-friendly trail about 200 meters upstream with a stone crossing.
  • The dam renovation will follow in a later phase once approvals are issued, with work constrained to the mid‑July to end‑December conservation window.
  • The southern route and concrete walkway, closed about 20 months due to collapse risk and erosion, will be removed and the area converted into a strictly protected water-sourcing zone with no access.
  • Residents urge clearer timelines and safer marked detours, citing risks along a busy road, while the utility plans on-site signage and temporary sectional closures north and south of the dam.
