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.

Shot a lap at the Kelbra reservoir today and caught a bit of sun. Unfortunately, the water is still drained.
