Die Ohratalsperre (18 Mio. m³ Stauvolumen) befindet sich am Nordhang des Thüringer Waldes und ist eingebettet in einem gut ausgebauten und markierten Wander- und Radwegenetz. 
1967 in Betrieb genommen, dient die Ohratalsperre der Trinkwassergewinnung für Mittelthüringen. Vom 56 m hohen Staudamm hat man einen herrlichen Blick über die Talsperre und das gesamte Ohratal.
