The outlet structure at the Bautzen Dam is located on the northwest shore of the reservoir and at the southern dam of the two dams. The cycle path curves around the outlet structure and then along the base of the dam. The reservoir dams the Spree River, which flows from here to Berlin. The dam is accessible by bicycle during opening hours; there are steps on the south side.
