View of Kaulsdorf from Roter Berg

Highlight • Viewpoint

Wow! The view from up here is simply amazing: the vast landscape, the forested mountains, the river loop in the valley and also the paragliders that take off from up here are something very special.

The Rote Berg is a beautiful panoramic mountain near Saalfeld. From here you can see the cities of Saalfeld and Kaulsdorf as well as the wide landscape of the surrounding area consisting of fields and forests. Fantastically beautiful!

Hohenwarte Dam

Highlight • Monument

This 75 meter high and 412 meter long dam was built between 1936 and 1942. This required 250 people to give up their homes - an entire village was flooded for construction. Today she gives you a wonderful view of the lake.

View of the Hohenwarte Reservoir

Highlight • Viewpoint

A great place with a very nice view of the dammed Saale.
It just makes me sad when places are or have been wiped out because of mining or, as here, a dam.

Upper Balancing Reservoir Amalienhöhe

Highlight • Lake

The equalization basin is almost a monumental structure. It lies like a huge basin in the landscape and can be completely circled by bike or on foot.
