Drachenschwanzhütte and View of Hohenwarte Reservoir

Highlight • Mountain Hut

From the international mountain hiking trail you have a fantastic view of the Altenroth and Droschkau campsites and the Drachenschwanz, which is super easy to see due to the current low water level.

February 9, 2025,Wanderung am Thüringer Meer , 🐉 Drachenschwanzblick

Today was a beautiful day ☀️ Hiking at the Hohenwarte reservoir with a view of the Drachenschwanz. In some places you have a pretty good view because the forests around it have been cut down.
A great day with great views of the reservoir. Absolutely 👍🏻👍🏻🫶🏻 recommended.

A nice round trip in the old homeland, that's always nice😃
We started in Drognitz and then simply took the almost overgrown hiking trail down to the Hohenwarte reservoir. Down by the water we then headed towards Drachenschwanz, a headland just before Droschkau. The path has beautiful viewpoints over the lake, especially towards the end when we have to climb …

Nice round trip. Because of the death of conifers, the area is currently being cleaned up and reforested. Still a nice round at the reservoir.

In places completely muddy paths through the forestry vehicles ..🙁
But rewarded with a great view of the dragon's tail from the hut.
