We decided not to take the one-and-a-half hour tour for €50 because we found bad or lukewarm reviews on Google. The view is not spectacular.

View of the Hohenwarte Reservoir

Highlight • Viewpoint

A great place with a very nice view of the dammed Saale.
It just makes me sad when places are or have been wiped out because of mining or, as here, a dam.

Hohenwarte Dam Parking

Highlight • Parking

The parking lot is chargeable. It is checked regularly! The machine does not change money. It costs 0.50 euros per hour, as a day ticket 4 euros. From there you can start hiking and there are rest stops nearby.
