    The Hopfgarten dam (Speicher Hopfgarten) in the district of Weimarer Land near Erfurt is an agricultural reservoir and is used for irrigation of intensive agriculture. It also has great importance for nature conservation. Fish farming is also operated here.
    Dammed up is the Gramme. In addition to irrigation, the reservoir also serves to regulate the water level in the grass.
    The shut-off building is a 368 m long and 15 m high earth dam. The dam belongs to the Thuringian long-distance water supply. Nearby is the dam Vieselbach (Wikipedia).

      Currently (summer 2019) the dam is dry. Friendly one is admonished not to enter the area without a valid fishing license. From here you simply have a nice view of the Ettersberg.
