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
