There is a visitor parking lot in the lower area of the dam. From here a paved path leads to the top of the dam with a great view.

Viewpoint at Oberbecken Pumped Storage Reservoir

Highlight • Viewpoint

Very good view over the Thuringian Forest. The access road is only partially suitable for racing bikes - it is better to push the last 100m.

Nice panoramic view. With good visibility even as far as the H. Schmiedeknecht brewery in Herschdorf. Bottom up!

Today a family-friendly excursion to the Goldistal upper basin. The big one could ride a balance bike, the little ones could be driven around and the rest could hike around. Good view from the vantage point of the upper basin, otherwise a lot of forest paths and not quite as spectacular as the actual dam, which is further down.
