Tips from the Community
"The Brettmühlenteich (also Brettmühlenteich Dobra, Brettmühlenteich Zschorna or Brettmühlenteich Tauscha) is a forest pond southeast of Zschorna in Saxony. A 4.40 m high and 380 m long dam dams the 14.5 hectare Brettmühlenteich, fed by the Grundbach and Springbach streams, in the catchment area of the Radeburg II reservoir. The local recreation center "Brettmühlenteich" is located on the banks of this forest pond. The fenced complex with its campsite and a very popular sandy beach, boat rental and dining facilities were managed by the Thiendorf municipality until 2016 and have been in private hands since then." - https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brettm%C3% BChlenteich_Dobra

A destination for me to plan a tour there. And one of the few destinations in the north of Dresden. I always find it great to cycle through the pond.
