The panoramic view of the Kyffhäuser Nature Park with forest, adjacent fields, and orchard meadows is magnificent. The reservoir area was flooded in 1969. The reservoir protects the Lowland of the Goldene Aue from the previously regularly occurring floods. The view stretches far over the flooded lake. A variety of bird species find breeding and resting places here. In October/November, numerous cranes stop here on their way south. Special guided tours are offered.
