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.

I'm not going to tell you that the path on the Kobersfelsen cannot be passed ...
You have to make the detour yourself, as there is no indication on the way beforehand.

Unfortunately, the path on the Koberfelsen is currently closed so that you have to make quite a detour to get to Burgk Castle
