The drinking water for the town of Brilon comes from dammed spring water in the Schmahlatal valley. A lake, also known as Silbersee, which is a popular hiking destination thanks to its beautiful location. The “Schmahlatal Loop Trail,” marked with the B1, leads right past the lake. From the “Feuereiche” on the Rothaarsteig, you can reach the lake by crossing the country road and following the lower forest path.
