Saalburg lies on the eastern shore of the Bleilochtalsperre, the reservoir with the largest capacity in Germany.

The Saale is the largest and most important river in Thuringia and the lifeline of many smaller and larger, historically valuable city pearls, which line up along the riverbank.
As a classic water footpath leads the Saale through Thuringia and Saxony-Anhalt to the mouth in the Elbe. The diverse, original and almost untouched Thuringian river landscape between Mediterranean-looking limestone cliffs offers ideal conditions for long canoe tours. The varied river course with wide lake areas and narrow banks with varying flow speeds invites you to a leisurely drive through the surrounding low mountain landscape. Short trips to the reservoirs Bleiloch and Hohenwarte, which are part of the "Thüringer Meer", are best for tasting.
The flowing Saale is particularly easy to explore from Saalfeld, Kahla or Jena. The Hohe Schwarm near Saalfeld, the Leuchtenburg near Kahla, the Lobdeburgruine on the southern edge of the city of Jena or the three Dornburg castles attract attention. The Saale is the river with the largest number of castles and palaces in Europe along the course.

The Bleiloch reservoir is at an altitude of 410 meters and has a total length of around 28 km. Today it is also a recreation area for water sports enthusiasts in the mountains and mountain climbers on the water. The Bleiloch reservoir is one of the most popular sailing and camping areas in Thuringia. The town of Saalburg, right on the shore of the lake, forms the tourist focus.
