Always worth a trip

The dam of the reservoir was built in connection with the construction of the Röhrgraben (Röhr ditch) from 1396 to 1404. It served as a reservoir for the Röhrgraben and the stamp mills located there. This is where Station 16 of the mining trail is located.

The Greifenbachstauweiher (also Dammteich or Geyerscher Teich) is located between Geyer and Ehrenfriedersdorf and was originally created for mining. The lake is now used for domestic water supply, flood protection and recreational purposes, including swimming and boating. The Greifenbachstauweiher is one of the oldest dams in Germany.

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.
