Neustadt Dam

Neustadt Dam is a concrete structure in the Harztor area of Thuringia that stores water and shapes the landscape. The dam spans the valley and creates a large reservoir surrounded by forested hills.

This structure was built as an expression of German engineering expertise and later protected as a heritage monument. It represents the region's technical development and remains an important example of water management in the area.

The dam is a gathering place where locals connect with the region's engineering heritage and the surrounding landscape. Visitors can see how the structure has become woven into the identity of the area and its relationship with nature.

The site offers paths and routes around the structure that suit different fitness levels. The best time to visit is in good weather when visibility and conditions are optimal.

The structure serves two purposes: it stores water while also protecting the surrounding nature from flooding. Many visitors only notice while exploring how well the engineering blends into the green forest landscape.
