A beautiful dam with a variety of recreational activities on its waters, including rowing and stand-up paddleboarding. The water is usually calm and the temperature is very pleasant for swimming. A trip to the dam wall is also recommended.

The reason for going to Bad Elster was actually the rose garden. Unfortunately, not much of it remains. Then we attended Kim Wilde's excellent open-air concert. So the trip was worth it.

The rose garden at the entrance to Paul Schindel Park, which was laid out in 1882/1883, shines again in new splendor. As part of the EU project “Park Adventures Bad Elster - Aš”, the facility was completely renovated in 2012. The design was brought as close as possible to the historically proven initial situation. The heart of the newly designed system is the slightly elevated circular bed with a radius of almost 12 meters. As was the case in Paul Schindel's time, the center of the round bed is a Canary Island date palm, planted with around 200 roses.

The dam is not too big and can easily be circumnavigated on foot.
