It is the most beautiful dam in Thuringia, even though bathing is prohibited, it still supplies the basin with drinking water.

A nice tour through home, Thuringia.

At the beginning the GPS didn't really have me on the radar 😂, so I went cross-country every now and then. A nice tour around the Ohra Dam and to Oberhof in beautiful weather 😊

Tonight we started our vacation with a bike tour around the Ohrathalsperre and at the same time it was our little ones' first big bike tour.
Dinner in the woods was a must, and of course the hunting horn, too. 😊

The route from the hotel to the reservoir is very difficult. The route on the way back was a lot better, but I had to dismount here from time to time
