Rappbode Dam and Suspension Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Walking the bridge is really great. Due to the corona, this is currently only possible in one direction, on the dam wall next door you can then go back and see the imposing bridge from the side.

View of the Rappbode Dam

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the dam you have a wonderful panoramic view. But on weekends it's very crowded here when the weather is nice. No place where you can enjoy the peace!

Rappbode Dam and Suspension Bridge

Highlight • Monument

For the adrenalin junkies among you, I recommend the rapid descent with the double rope slide 120 meters down into the valley just above the water of the dam Wendefurth.

This tower is above the dam at the starting point for leisure activities with a suspension bridge and rope rides into the valley. Beautiful overview of the lake and valley.

The Rappbodetalsperre is the highest in Germany. The suspension bridge over the reservoir is the longest of its kind. After crossing the reservoir over the suspension bridge, we did a small circular hike to the Stemperhaus. This is a managed, rustic charcoal hut.

I cannot recommend the d3n circular route around the pumped storage basin. You don't see a drop of water
