June 21, 2023,sunset @ Stausee Bautzen 🌅

Spontaneous evening tour around the Bautzen dam. Unfortunately, there are only a few views of the water on the northern shore, more of a functional building for drinking water supply.
On the southern shore, on the other hand, there are a few bathing opportunities, beach volleyball and restaurants. Young people romp here.

March 17, 2024,Iron Lake Challenge Sachsen - Tour 2: Talsperre Bautzen

Today it started almost at the front door. We walked the route that we often cycle on. Once around the Bautzen dam for the Iron Lake Challenge Saxony. A breeze of fresh wind and many beautiful impressions of spring defined this tour.

October 20, 2024,321. 🇩🇪 ILC Sachsen: Talsperre Bautzen

The time has come, today we are hiking our opening tour of the Iron Lake Challenge Saxony. Of course we have properly registered for the challenge and want to walk around Saxony's 25 largest lakes.
But first we start with Saxony's seventh largest lake. We drive to Bautzen and park the car in the small parking lot on Nimschützer Straße. …

Unspectacular hike from Burk, via Quatitz to Neumalsitz. After Neumalsitz there is a path to the left into the forest, a fishing sign shows the entrance. Then keep your eyes open, the path cannot be found immediately, but it is idyllic.

Circumnavigating the Bautzen Dam wasn't the most beautiful tour. Done, done.

March 19, 2022,Zu Fuß - Wanderung um die Talsperre Bautzen 🥾👣

The highlight was definitely at the end - the last kilometer to the parking lot - the sunset and finally some water. 😅🌅
The round is sometimes really extensive and not directly at the dam. Over hill and dale... you should be good on foot here.😉
