Everything important about the Bleiloch Dam has already been reported by other Komootlers. When you see the size of the dam, as it has the largest capacity in Germany, you can understand why the dam is also called the Thuringian Sea.

Really nice tour through the Höllental. Nature is still fine there. Along the Selbitz stream you can listen to the rushing of the water and the chirping of the birds. Just gorgeous. Not to forget the rock formations to the right and left.
