A tranquil reservoir just outside Erfurt, ideal for layered landscapes: still water for reflections, forested slopes, and wide sky compositions. Best light comes at sunrise for calm mirror-like water and at sunset when the treeline turns warm. Easy access by car; expect fewer crowds on weekdays. No entry fees, but follow dam and shore restrictions and stay clear of service areas.
