A beautiful view of the dam, which we will cross a little later, framed by trees. A worthwhile hiking trail of around 10 km leads around the lake.

Eckertalsperre dam

Highlight • Monument

At the secluded Eckertalsperre is usually not much going on, because the next parking lot is far away. Previously, the German-German border ran through the middle of the dam. A landmark on the dam still reminds of it today.

Inner German border marker on the Eckertal Reservoir dam

Highlight • Monument

Boundary stone on the dam as a reminder between East and West. Here the inner-German border not only ran through the middle of the reservoir, but also directly over the dam wall.

The weather was beautiful. And as always, at least one photo with a view of the Brocken (if possible) is a must.
