Pöhl Dam

Highlight • Monument

The dam of the Pöhl dam is a curved concrete dam. The dam was built from 1958 to 1964 near Jocketa (today part of the municipality of Pöhl) in the Vogtland (commissioned in 1964). The dam takes its name from the village of Pöhl, which is now under water. In fact, the underwater location serves as a diving attraction. The dammed water, the shoot, is a tributary of the White Elster.

Pöhl Dam (Pöhl Reservoir)

Highlight (Segment) • Monument

The imposing dam of the Pöhl dam is a real highlight and impresses both from above and below 💪. When crossing, a wide, almost endless view opens up over the lake, while on the other side the valley plunges deep down – a great contrast!
