The Sosa Dam is a dam in the Free State of Saxony. It serves to supply drinking water to the western Ore Mountains and to provide flood protection. The dam was built between 1949 and 1952 in the Höllengrund valley south of Sosa, which has been part of the town of Eibenstock since 2011, in the Ore Mountains, and was finally put into operation in 1952.

☆ The wall is 50 meters high.

The dam was built between 1974 and 1987. The town of Muldenhammer with a few reactors and a railway line was originally located in this valley.

The Talperre Sosa barrier wall is the last quarry stone wall built in Germany. The quarry stone masonry of the dam body is made of granite. This granite was quarried in the nearby quarry. The Maxhütte in Unterwellenborn developed a special mixed binder "Sosa - special binder" for the construction of the dam wall. Source: http://www.sosa-online.de/Talsperre.html

The dam was built between 1948 and 1951. After the founding of the GDR, the dam was called the “Dam of Peace”. It was the first so-called "central youth facility" of the newly founded state on October 7, 1949. Source: http://www.sosa-online.de/geschichte.html

The panoramic view from the dam wall over the forests is simply picturesque. Great place for hikes around the dam.

There is also a new, great hut to rest up here 👌.

It can make you dizzy, but great view.
