View of Leibis-Lichte Dam

From the rest area you can see part of the dam and towards Meura.

The last dam to be built and the second highest (102.5 meters) in Germany
is located near Unterweißbach in the Lichtetal, in the Thuringian Slate Mountains
on the nature park route.
The name of the Leibis-Lichte dam comes from the town of Leibis, whose residents were relocated, and the dammed river Lichte, a tributary of the Schwarza.
It supplies drinking water to eastern Thuringia and provides flood protection.
It is an ecological dam. Floods are simulated in order to preserve the habitat of plants and animals. The dam is a concrete gravity dam.
It was built using block construction (approx. 1000 concrete blocks), is not anchored in the rock
and is supported solely by its own weight.
