Interesting symbiosis of technology and nature - the dam meets the green landscape: the approximately 13-kilometer hike around the Ohratalsperre takes you on a paved road through a scenic and attractive environment.
The 260-meter-long, accessible dam of the Ohra River is well worth seeing. The Ohratalsperre
supplies almost all of Central Thuringia with drinking water. The reservoir holds a good 18 million cubic meters of water and is idyllically embedded in the densely forested mountains in the Thuringian Forest near Oberhof.

The Ohra dam is a dam that builds up the Ohra. It is located on the north side of the Thuringian Forest in the Gotha district near the town of Luisenthal.

A very interesting building. It is worth reading the information boards about the construction and the values.

A very nice circular route that's also easy to do by bike. Touring stamp stations are available.
