Schönbrunn Dam

Highlight • Monument

The construction of the dam to create the reservoir Schönbrunn is one of the major socialist projects in the former GDR. Construction period from 1967 to 1975, the final commissioning of the dam was in 1978. Thus, the remote water supply in southern Thuringia for today 230,000 consumers was secured. In addition, it serves the flood protection in the region. Structural feature of the dam: It is a stone dump with asphalt discharge. Length 260m, height 66m. The river Sluice is dammed up.

Schönbrunn Dam

Highlight • Monument

The dam itself is not that spectacular. If you first walk up to the dam wall and then to the bridge, you have to watch your circulation. The sudden difference in altitude and the valley basin bothered me at least.

Schönbrunn Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

A drinking water dam environment of unique nature in a picturesque landscape. Fantastically accessible, but also some hidden viewpoints invite you to linger, relax and dream. The approx. 15 km circular route can be supplemented with various additional highlights and hike longer and further.
