Top 20 Lakes around Tannenberg

Sunbathing area with a fee! Too many prohibition signs for our liking.

When the forest is being swept (it was closed because of tree work) we have to take detours.

Perfect for swimming, relaxing and enjoying the view of the lake

You can go swimming here when the weather is nice.

Warmbad is a district of the town of Wolkenstein. Warmbad has been a state-approved health resort in the Free State of Saxony with the status of a spa for more than a hundred years. The oldest and warmest thermal spring in Saxony is located here.

The reservoir was created 600 years ago as a water reservoir for mining and is therefore the oldest reservoir in the Ore Mountains with very good water quality. On both banks of the bathing lake there is an extensive sandy beach with a well-kept lawn. The Greifenbach reservoir is one of the oldest dams in Germany. After the Ehrenfriedersdorf Röhrgraben was created around 1380 to supply the tin mines in Ehrenfriedersdorf with water from the Greifenbach, the stream was probably dammed for the first time in 1396. In 1404 the Great Geyer Pond or Upper Geyer Protection Pond was expanded so that in the 15th century it had a capacity of 60,000 m³ of water. Below the old road from Geyer to Jahnsbach there were other ponds on the Greifenbach, the Upper and Lower Ratsteich, some of which are still preserved. On the banks of the Greifenbach reservoir there was first a poison hut, later a dynamite factory. After the dam was raised in 1942, the storage capacity increased to 534,000 m³. In 1968, the reservoir was enlarged to 634,000 m³ and has been used for local recreation ever since. The dam was repaired in 1948, 1976/77 and from 2010 to 2012. The barrier structure is an earthen dam. The dammed water is the Red Water, which leaves the reservoir under the name Greifenbach.

Beautifully landscaped park with many places to linger. The existing drinking fountain at the Warmbad spring was inaugurated on September 11, 1999 and is intended to preserve the tradition of the so-called drinking cure.
