A cozy place to stop for refreshments in the former quarry for the dam of the Sosa dam (construction period 1949 - 1952) invites you to linger.

September 24, 2025,EZ-Talsperre Sosa – kleiner Spaziergang

Today we drove to the Sosa Dam in the Ore Mountains. Unfortunately, the dam is currently closed due to construction work, so we took the tour in the other direction. We really liked the tree species pavilion.
The road is mostly paved, and there were only good views of the dam on our route, so we turned back.
