The turquoise water of the Silbergrund is particularly impressive 😍.
But the preliminary barrier itself is also very impressive 😊.

April 5, 2025,Wegscheide (Oberhof) - Triefstein - Ohratalsperre - Wegscheide (Touringen Stempel 265) ☀️

The starting and finishing point of my tour was the Wegscheide, which is easily accessible by public transport.

After a very steep descent, you reach a very beautiful rock formation, the Triefstein or Salzmannfelsen. A spring, the so-called Gerastollen, bubbles out of the rock. It's very impressive how the water flows from the rock.
