Hohenwarte Dam

Highlight • Monument

This 75 meter high and 412 meter long dam was built between 1936 and 1942. This required 250 people to give up their homes - an entire village was flooded for construction. Today she gives you a wonderful view of the lake.

Marienkirche Eichicht

Highlight • Religious Site

A chapel was mentioned for the first time in 1200 as a branch of the pilgrimage church of the Benedictine monastery of St. Jacob on the road over the Thuringian Forest.
"In 1464 the brothers Heinrich and Dietrich von Beulwitz donated a vicareye (representative office) in the church of our dear women in the village and in the Capellen zum Eichicht at the castle." This is the first mention of the Eichich church and a castle chapel.

Eichicht Dam

Highlight • Monument

From the Eichicht dam you have a fantastic view of the Saale, which is dammed here. The dam itself is the final structure of the Saale cascade in the Obere Saale dam system.

Today's bike tour was planned a little differently.
It was supposed to take us to Ziegenrück. The weather wasn't cooperating.
At the Portenschmiede campsite, we had to shelter for over an hour, so we had to re-plan a bit.
We took the Linkenmühle mill ferry to return to the dam via Altenbeuthen. Despite the April weather, it was a great …

As always a top tour. It's very tedious at the beginning of Neumannshof and after the Lothramühle uphill, but in the end you've done something for your health physically and mentally.
