The dam is connected to the Neunzehnhain I and II dams and the Einsiedel dam via canals, pipelines, tunnels, and streams. A charming landscape conservation area of approximately 4,500 hectares extends around the Saidenbach Dam.

The Saidenbach drinking water reservoir was built between 1929 and 1933 northeast of Pockau-Lengefeld. It dams a total of six tributaries: the Forchheimer Dorfbach, Gründelbach, Haselbach, Hölzelbergbach, Lippersdorfer Bach, and Saidenbach. With over 146 hectares of water surface (22.4 million m³ of water), the reservoir is the largest reservoir in the Central Ore Mountains and also the largest drinking water reservoir in the "Central Ore Mountains" integrated water system. Together with the Einsiedel, Neunzehnhain 1, and Neunzehnhain 2 reservoirs, it provides raw water for the Einsiedel waterworks, which supplies Chemnitz and southern Saxony with drinking water. https://www.wasserwirtschaft.sachsen.de/TS_Saidenbach.html

When the forest is being swept (it was closed because of tree work) we have to take detours.

Worthwhile hike to the two dams Neunzehnhain 1 and 2

The Neunzehnhain Dam was built between 1911 and 1914 in the Bornwald near Pockau-Lengefeld in the Ore Mountains. It was put into operation shortly before the outbreak of the First World War. Due to the rapid industrialization of the Chemnitz area at the end of the 19th century and the enormous population growth of that time, water consumption rose rapidly. The Neunzehnhain Dam, which was only inaugurated in 1908, could no longer meet the water demand just three years later - and was therefore given a larger sister to accompany it.

Warmbad is a district of the town of Wolkenstein. Warmbad has been a state-approved health resort in the Free State of Saxony with the status of a spa for more than a hundred years. The oldest and warmest thermal spring in Saxony is located here.
