The Wechmar dam was built from 1978 to 1981 and was put into operation in 1983.
The dam is a industrial water dam with an area of 39 hectares and you can swim in it.
To the east is the Röhnberg nature reserve and the 3 Gleichen are also nearby.

Highlight • Viewpoint

A very beautiful view of the Drei Gleichen (Three Gleichen Castles). From here, you have the feeling you could look down into Wandersleben Castle from above.
