Staudamm Unterbecken

Who is technically interested in this dam must have just seen and visited. Whether on foot or by bike, here you can let off steam, the lower basin is all around walkable or passable.

Lower basin of the pumped storage power station Markersbach. 4MW peak power.

Stunning views over the valley around the Mitweida

A wonderful place when the weather is nice. You also have a beautiful panoramic view of our beautiful Ore Mountains from the top of the dam.

Pump storage plant from GDR times

There are certainly more beautiful dams, but it is accessible and allows a very nice view of the dam.

Worth a tour even with little water !!!

Nice lap around the lower basin, past the lovingly designed water mills.

Impressive building from the 1970s
