View over the Hohenwarte Reservoir

Highlight • Viewpoint

A magnificent vantage point that even has the right orientation for a perfect sunset. The Saale loop below is impressive. The small paths all around make hiking a lot of fun.

In the stilt house with a view of the Födischteich, animals can be observed without disturbing anyone. In addition to the many bird species, with a little luck you can also see fallow deer.

In the land of 1000 ponds there are also 1000 things to discover... What a beautiful landscape.

It's nice that people here care about nature and build something like this - we didn't see any special pond creatures at the moment, but that's just a coincidence and a question of time.

Certainly not bad for bad weather. But very dark inside, even if the small windows open. A few more benches or resting places around the ponds would not be bad.
