View of Einsiedel Reservoir

From the circular hiking trail there are wonderful views of the glittering dam water.

The circular hiking trail is about 4.5 km long.
As it is a drinking water dam, it is not freely accessible (fenced).
Nevertheless, there are some places where you can get a very nice view of the dam.
The oldest drinking water dam in Saxony - which is also the third oldest in Germany - is located in a forest in the Chemnitz district of Einsiedel. It was built from quarry stone between 1891 and 1894. It serves as a balancing reservoir for the Einsiedel waterworks and is connected to the Neunzehnhain I and II and Saidenbach dams by pipelines, tunnels, canals, artificial ditches and natural watercourses. The Stadtguttalbach is dammed here, but due to its small size it only contributes a small amount to the water volume of the dam.

a great corner, always worth a trip
