Kelbra Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

The dam is beautiful in every season. It was once built for flood protection, but now it's also used for tourism.

In the afternoon, we took a walk around the reservoir. We saw a few cranes... not at the lake as we had hoped, but in the nearby fields.

It is absolutely impressive when up to 15,000 birds settle here one after the other on their way from Northern Europe to Spain and, after feeding in the surrounding fields, retreat here to the safety of water. Now with a brand new observation tower on the dam - unfortunately it's not easy to take photos with a smartphone...
