June 2, 2026, View of the Klingenberg Dam

The dam was built from 1908 onwards near Klingenberg in the foothills of the Ore Mountains, based on an architectural design by Hans Poelzig. In 1914, the dam went into operation and was named after the last Saxon king: Friedrich-August-Talsperre. The impounded body of water is the Wilde Weißeritz. Its construction was part of a flood protection concept that was developed after the devastating flood of 1897 by the district administration of Dresden-Altstadt under the leadership of District Administrator and Dam Commissioner Arnold Streit. During construction, a standard-gauge industrial railway was built from Klingenberg-Colmnitz station to the construction site, which operated from 1911 to 1914. The Höhenweg trail now runs along its route over the Streichholzbrücke bridge. (Wikipedia)

Dorfkirche Klingenberg. Built between 1740 and 1742. Has been renovated in recent years. Ensemble of local character and historical significance.

Possibility of a circular hike or (bicycle) tour near the water, more visibility than at other dams, numerous benches, a mini-beach on the eastern shore, bird watching, a restaurant on the dam wall - in short: suitable for a day trip.
