Kelbra Reservoir (Kelbra Dam)

Highlight • Monument

The dam is always worth a detour, there is even something new. There are two new stork nests on light poles and one of them is even inhabited.

Kelbra Dam Crest

Highlight • Monument

It's always great to drive over the dam wall. There is a turnstile at the beginning of the wall, but the bike fits through

Highlight • Cycleway

A 2.5 kilometer asphalted path that also serves as a service road for the dam. It is very easy to ride on a bike.
