Climb to Bucha with a view of the Hohenwarte Reservoir

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

From the reservoir it is short but crisp uphill to Bucha. You make more than 150 vertical meters on this climb. Good that it goes downhill after that first. ;)

The Hohenwartestausee - and thus also this dam - belongs to the hall cascade, which consists of a total of five barrages. This is the fourth largest in Germany and is mainly used for energy production.

Hohenwarte Dam

Highlight (Segment) • Monument

The section winds along the Hohenwarte reservoir with great views over various bays. Especially at sunrise, with light fog over the water, recommended or in autumn with colorful foliage as a backdrop.

Kemenate Ziegenrück and Wasserkraftmuseum Fernmühle

Highlight • Historical Site

Ziegenrück is a small town on the Saale and is considered a state recognized resort.

In addition to the already well worth seeing Kemenate is a side trip to the Wasserkraftmuseum with adjacent very good restaurant "The Fernmühle" to recommend.
