The drinking water for the town of Brilon is dammed spring water in the Schmahlatal valley. A lake, also known as the Silbersee, is a popular hiking destination due to its beautiful location. The hiking trail "Schmahlatal-Rundweg" marked with the B1 leads directly past the lake. You can reach the lake from the Feuereiche on the Rothaarsteig, after crossing the country road, along the lower forest path.
