The Falkenstein Dam was built in the 1970s to supply the region's textile industry with industrial water. After the industry closed in the 1990s, its main purpose became flood protection. The Falkenstein Dam is also a designated EU bathing area and is therefore very popular as a leisure and recreation area.

The dam wall of the Carlsfeld dam is a listed building. The curved gravity dam wall made of rubble stone is 195 meters long and up to 20 meters wide at the base. Its height above the foundation base is almost 32 meters. The dam axis has a radius of 160 meters.

The Carlsfeld Dam is located on the ridge of the Ore Mountains at a height of around 905 meters above sea level. This makes it the highest drinking water dam in Germany. Its catchment area extends into the Vogtland and the Czech Republic. The Carlsfeld Dam is sometimes also called the "Wilzsch Dam" or "Weiterwiese Dam". The first name refers to the Wilzsch River, whose water it dams. Weiterswiese was the name of a small forest settlement that had to make way for the dam to be built.

The dam is not too big and can easily be circumnavigated on foot.

Wonderful circular route with a great toilet
