ダムサイデンバッハ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ11

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

Attention: The dam is currently completely closed due to cracks in the wall, and will probably remain so for the whole of next year. Update 2024: the path over the top of the wall is open again.

Incredibly great picnic spot overlooking the reservoir. You can even find seashells 😊

Nice place for a picnic at the dam

The dam is often well hidden in the forest. You rarely get a glimpse of the water

Nice place to rest at the dam.

Always worth a tour and a break with a view of the dam
