In the last stage, you pass through peaceful villages and hike on parts of the Jakobsweg with the Rohrbahnblick, one of the most beautiful viewpoints on the Hohenwarte Stausee route.
Stage 5: Lothramühle to Sperrmauer parking lot
After a steep climb at the very beginning, you can breathe fresh forest air before reaching Steinsdorf. Between fields and meadows, it continues to the smallest village on the reservoir, "St. Jakob." Pause here at the legendary healing spring before continuing along secluded roads to Löhma. Continuing at this elevation, the route passes the upper basin to the aerial tramway crossing of the Hohenwarte hydroelectric power plant. Here you will be rewarded with an impressive view over the village of Hohenwarte with its structures of the Hohenwarte dam and the Eichicht dam. From here, you steadily and steeply approach your starting point, passing the nature park cinema, where you end your hike with a dreamy view of the Saale.
