Glauchau Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

The reservoir, whose construction began in 1936, is located on the site of the former Naundorf Meadows, a typical Mulde floodplain. They were enclosed by a river and a slope on the right side of the Mulde valley between the Schindmaas weir and the town of Glauchau. The Naundorf Meadows were named after a village located on this site in the 13th century. However, the inhabitants probably moved away due to the unfavorable location, exposed to flooding from the Mulde River, and later settled elsewhere.

Mulden Bridge Wernsdorf

Highlight • Bridge

The Mulde Bridge near Wernsdorf is a so-called tensioned ribbon bridge, measuring 105 meters long and 3.5 meters wide. It was awarded the Thuringian State Prize for Engineering Achievements in 2017. The same construction method is also found in the Drachenschwanz Adventure Bridge.

Glauchau Weir

Highlight • Structure

In some maps I have discovered that hiking trails lead directly over the water - there may be a bridge, but the Zwickauer Mulde cannot be crossed here.

Have fun

The path leads over the Hedrichwehr of the Zwickauer Mulde and through fields and meadows to the flood channel bridge on the Auestraße. Along the flood channel and later the Muldendamm you reach Niederschindmass. A tranquil village with …

Our little tour started with sunshine and ended with sleet.
