The Greifenbachstauweiher (also Dammteich or Geyerscher Teich) is located between Geyer and Ehrenfriedersdorf and was originally created for mining. The lake is now used for domestic water supply, flood protection and recreational purposes, including swimming and boating.
The Greifenbachstauweiher is one of the oldest dams in Germany.

The dam of the reservoir was built in connection with the construction of the Röhrgraben (Röhr ditch) from 1396 to 1404.

It served as a reservoir for the Röhrgraben and the stamp mills located there.

This is where Station 16 of the mining trail is located.
