Radau waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

Always a beautiful sight in summer as well as in winter when there is frost. The Radau Waterfall is an experience in particular for children. A small hiking trail also leads up to the waterfall!

Inner German border marker on the Eckertal Reservoir dam

Highlight • Monument

Boundary stone on the dam as a reminder between East and West. Here the inner-German border not only ran through the middle of the reservoir, but also directly over the dam wall.
