Porcelain and Wine Town Meissen
The picturesque town on the Elbe is characterized by a historic cityscape and the wine landscape of the Elbe Valley. Once upon a time, the Wettin princes were entrusted with the Mark Meissen – this was the beginning of Saxony’s history. Therefore, Meissen is rightly called the “cradle of Saxony”. The city of Meissen is internationally renowned for the production of Meissen porcelain, which is the first European porcelain to be produced since 1708.

IMPOSANT BAUDENKMAL -
THE KLINGENBERGER DAM

The gentle hilly landscape in the former Freital district on the southern edge of the Tharandter forest has its highest point in Neuklingenberg, the location of our nature and business hotel NEUE HÖHE.

From there, at approximately the same altitude, a beautiful hiking trail leads to the Klingenberg dam, the watershed between the Wilder Weißeritz and the Freiberger Mulde.

The imposing, listed building was built in the years 1908 to 1914 with a curved gravity dam made of rubble. At this time, the plant still bore the name of the last Saxon King and was called Friedrich August Dam.

The Dam which recently got costly reconstructed serves as drinking water supply for Dresden and parts of the Weißeritzkreis, the protection of flood and even for energy production.

Architecturally interesting is the remarkable crown in the middle of the dam, over which a public path leads. The building has a height of 40 meters with a crown width of over six meters. The total volume is 118,000 cubic meters, the total storage space is 17.5 million cubic meters.

The basin of the reservoir with a water surface of 116 hectares is approximately 90 square kilometers.

Only travel is life, the reverse is life travel.
