Linkenmühle Ferry

Highlight • Structure

Always fun to take the ferry, although a bridge wouldn't be bad either. The restaurant is also recommended.

Hohenwarte Dam

Highlight (Segment) • Monument

The section winds along the Hohenwarte reservoir with great views over various bays. Especially at sunrise, with light fog over the water, recommended or in autumn with colorful foliage as a backdrop.

Hohenwarte Dam

Highlight • Monument

This 75 meter high and 412 meter long dam was built between 1936 and 1942. This required 250 people to give up their homes - an entire village was flooded for construction. Today she gives you a wonderful view of the lake.

Hohenwarte Dam

Highlight (Segment) • Monument

The Hohenwartestausee - and thus also this dam - belongs to the hall cascade, which consists of a total of five barrages. This is the fourth largest in Germany and is mainly used for energy production.

Climb to Bucha with a view of the Hohenwarte Reservoir

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

From the reservoir it is short but crisp uphill to Bucha. You make more than 150 vertical meters on this climb. Good that it goes downhill after that first. ;)
