Upper Balancing Reservoir Amalienhöhe

Highlight • Lake

The equalization basin is almost a monumental structure. It lies like a huge basin in the landscape and can be completely circled by bike or on foot.

Challenging but doable, unfortunately all pubs and shops are closed on Mondays, but there is a vending machine in Altengesees to refill drinks

This is how it works to make MTB sport attractive in Thuringia and interesting for foreigners. Well signposted throughout and also passable with Gravel.
