Horstsee is one of the Wermsdorf ponds

Together with the Döllnitzsee and Göttwitzsee dams, it is part of the large Wermsdorf ponds. The Horstsee is the oldest of these facilities. The name of the dam comes from a striking island in the middle of the pond, which was previously called "Horst". Even today, the Horstsee is mainly used for fishing. It was created as a fish pond in 1500 and has been state-owned since 1580. The dam has two earthen dams. The Saubach, a second order water body, is dammed. The dam's storage volume is around 1.4 million cubic meters. Source:https://www.wasserwirtschaft.sachsen.de/TS_Horstsee.html

In summer it's a bit overgrown with blackberries and nettles. But it's still a nice place. The downhill part is very steep but it's really fun to ride. The uphill part is fun too.

there is also a hiking map & information board
