The 65-meter-high and 205-meter-long gravity dam built between 1926 and 1932 near Gräfenwarth and Schleiz dams 215 million cubic meters of water in the Saale. This makes the Bleilochtalsperre the largest reservoir in Germany in terms of volume.

A really beautiful trail. Not only is biking fun, but the view of the Bleiloch Dam is also beautiful.

Bridge of Peace

Highlight • Bridge

Bridge as a means to an end, e.g. on the circuit around the Bleiloch (komoot.de/highlight/3556438), unfortunately a separate cycle path on the bridge was forgotten 🤣

Wetterabrücke

Highlight • Bridge

Formerly for trains and cars (extremely tight). After the Schleiz-Saalburg railway line was shut down, a very well-developed cycle path was created in the former track bed, which is separated in the area of the bridge.

Almost always along the water around the dam. A week before the SMS (Sun Moon Stars Festival), the tents and stages are already up, but the peace of nature can still be heard all around. Next week, scooters, among other things, will arrive and make other sounds, so that the reservoir shakes. I think the journey to the many campsites …

Good trail on the western shore of the reservoir with everything you could wish for😉From roots to fallen trees and a bit of mud, to easily navigable sections, everything is there in a wonderful landscape 👍🍂🍁☀️
Then over the Hirschtaufe and Oschitz to a beautiful viewpoint over Schleiz, back over Görkwitz to the Zipfelteich and home👍🍂🍁☀️😃

Wonderful early spring round around our magnificent reservoir, almost without water, the landscape has its charms almost without the dense forest, which has unfortunately been lost 🥰, little Norway sends its regards 🙏☺️👍

Unfortunately, the valley run from the old railway dam to the balancing basin and the view of the Koberfelsen is largely left to nature. A steep, impassable descent, later with trees lying across the path and water crossings.
Those with a bit of inexperience or on a touring bike should take the route via Gräfenwarth.
