Rappbodetalsperre

The 106 meter high Rappbodetalsperre is located directly at the entrance to the Bodetal and has been protecting the villages in the valley from flooding for over 50 years.
The Rappbodetalsperre is 415 meters long and with a height of 106 meters it is also the largest dam in Germany. It is able to hold a water surface of 390 hectares and more than 109 million cubic meters of water.
The Rappbodetalsperre forms the core of a large-scale dam system in the Eastern Harz, which consists of the Rappbode and Hassel pre-dams, the transfer dam at Königshütte, the Kalte Bode flood protection basin (almond wood reservoir) near Königshütte, as well as the dam and the Wendefurth pumped storage plant.

The Rappbodetalsperre is always an experience, at the moment it is quite full

A gigantic building with a view of huge amounts of water as well as the highlight the "Titan suspension bridge" with the associated mega zipline.

Due to the storm that passed here was not much going on. Magnificent structure, like any dam.

Beautiful view over the reservoir 👍🏻

it's worth a visit!

Very impressive view of the Rappbodetalsperre and the Titan-RT suspension bridge!
The visit is worthwhile. 👍

Great view and great experience over the bridge. From November, all localities have closed.

Due to the current corona restrictions, the suspension bridge can only be entered as a one-way street from the north side. Tickets are therefore only available at the cash desk on the north side. The way back is via the dam. You should have a good sense of balance because the suspension bridge sways well when there are so many people on it. 😳😱😀

It's amazing what the unbelievable amount of water is dammed up. A great sight.

Nice view of the suspension bridge from the dam.

Bungee, swing on the rope, dash down the steep rope or simply walk over the suspension bridge. Soaß is guaranteed, as well as great views.

Great view of the dam.

Huge masses of water, held back by a gigantic building - the highest of its kind.
The Rappbodetalsperre forms the centerpiece of a large-scale dam system in the Eastern Harz, which consists of the Rappbode and Hassel reservoirs, the transfer dam at Königshütte, the Kalte Bode flood protection reservoir (almond wood reservoir) near Königshütte, as well as the dam and the Wendefurth pumped storage plant.

From the red stone there is a beautiful view of the Rappbodestausee.

Perfect for taking pictures from this position

Nice view from the street side.

Definitely worth it because of the bridge and the zipline if you are not afraid of heights and want to use it.

Gigantic and pure vision. A lot going on on public holidays. Better to come in the morning.

Gigantic building that attracts many visitors every day 👍🏻next to it there is also the pumped storage plant ...

Here you can cross the valley parallel to the suspension bridge, with solid ground under your feet.

Great view of the reservoir.

My absolute highlight of my vacation in the Harz Mountains. Here I got my first special cancellation on the Titan Rt 😁

Just before overflowing
