Ziegenrück on the Saale River

Highlight • Settlement

Ziegenrück is simply a small, sleepy place between the Thuringian seas. The food is very good and there are countless beautiful cycling and hiking trails. A detour is worthwhile.

Once a vacationer stronghold, in GDR times. Not so anymore. A beautiful place located in the valley. The Saale flows through the middle

Very nice building with a wonderful view of Burgk Castle from below. After the bridge turn left and you will get to the Jägersteig. Nice hiking trail.

The 65-meter-high and 205-meter-long gravity dam built between 1926 and 1932 near Gräfenwarth and Schleiz dams 215 million cubic meters of water in the Saale. This makes the Bleilochtalsperre the largest reservoir in Germany in terms of volume.
