Embedded in the beautiful nature of the Thuringian Forest is the Lütschetalsperre. Around the reservoir, you can ride a bike and enjoy the breathtaking views of the lake and the wooded shores. On hot days in summer, you may also like to jump into the water to refresh yourself. There is also a swimming area at the campsite, which you can use for free.

The dam was built from 1935 to 1937 and put into operation on 12.07.1938.
The real purpose was to store lime-free water for the Deutsche Reichsbahn. The dammed up water is called Lütsche - hence the name. Until 2004 there was a restaurant, which unfortunately burned down completely. Nevertheless, you can take a break here in the idyllic landscape and strengthen, for example, in the restaurant at the campsite.
The opening hours of the restaurant:
From Good Friday / Easter until 31st October open daily from 11.30 am (closed on Mondays)
(Changes depending on weather conditions / occupancy reserved)
During the winter months the restaurant is open from 11:30 to 17:00 on Saturday and Sunday

Is very nice in the countryside. Provides plenty of flat spots on the shore to cool off.
