Werda Dam (Geigenbach Dam)

Highlight • Monument

If you go over the dam in the middle of the dam, you can have a wonderful view of the whole dam. The view towards the barrier wall is particularly great.

June 24, 2023,Wanderung Grünbach

Another hike from the Saxon hiking calendar. Grünbach is always beautiful. Wonderful to walk through nature today after yesterday's rain. At the end there was again delicious cake and grilled food. We didn't do the long route today because we have other things on the agenda. In June everyone celebrates.
