The footbridge leads around the Kobersfelsen directly on the water. It is really a wonderful hiking trail. If you have time, take a short detour up the Kobersfelsen. From up there you have a great view.

Bleiloch Dam

Highlight • Monument

The 65-meter-high and 205-meter-long gravity dam built between 1926 and 1932 near Gräfenwarth and Schleiz dams 215 million cubic meters of water in the Saale. This makes the Bleilochtalsperre the largest reservoir in Germany in terms of volume.
