At the secluded Eckertalsperre is usually not much going on, because the next parking lot is far away. Previously, the German-German border ran through the middle of the dam. A landmark on the dam still reminds of it today.

The weather was beautiful. And as always, at least one photo with a view of the Brocken (if possible) is a must.
