Oberweißbacher Bergbahn Station

Highlight • Structure

Valley station of the Oberweißbacher Bergbahn. Right on the bike path. Accessible by bus and train. Parking and snack available. It smelled deliciously of Thuringian bratwurst. Definitely an experience.

Lichte Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

Where there is now water in the dam, the town of Leibis was and had to give way to the construction of the wall. It was rebuilt somewhere else and is now called New Leibis.

View of Leibis-Lichte Dam

Highlight • Viewpoint

The former village "Leibis" was sacrificed for the drinking water dam of the same name. It blends beautifully into the landscape. The newly created biotope enlivens diversity.
