Gottleuba Dam
The 928th tallest dam in the world
The Gottleuba Dam is the second highest dam in Saxony, Germany. It serves as a reservoir for water supply for the town Pirna and provides flood protection, but energy production is small. The dam was built between 1965 and 1974. It is located at the northern foot of the Ore Mountains, southwest of Bad Gottleuba. It dams up the Gottleuba river. Above the concrete dam is a lookout point. The dam is not accessible to the public. Bathing and leisure sports in the lake are not allowed, since it is for drinking water. Entry around the lake is allowed.
