View of the Hohenwarte Reservoir

Highlight • Viewpoint

A great place with a very nice view of the dammed Saale.
It just makes me sad when places are or have been wiped out because of mining or, as here, a dam.

View of the Hohenwarte Dam with swing

Highlight • Viewpoint

This is my absolute favorite spot: a shelter with a fantastic view of the reservoir, a cute little hanging swing, just an invitation to linger. Balm for the soul. You can park at the Waldhotel and then follow the H3.
