View of Schleiz

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the top of the Görkwitzer-Unterweg, in the Sonnenallee residential area, you have a wonderful view of the city. The castle towers immediately catch your eye.

Bleiloch Dam

Highlight • Monument

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.

Ziegenrück on the Saale River

Highlight • Settlement

Ziegenrück is simply a small, sleepy place between the Thuringian seas. The food is very good and there are countless beautiful cycling and hiking trails. A detour is worthwhile.
