Leibis-Lichte Dam, Embankment dam in Thuringia, Germany.
The Leibis-Lichte Dam holds back the Lichte River and creates a large reservoir in the Thuringian highlands. The structure combines earthen embankment with a concrete core to store water across a substantial span for surrounding regions.
The dam was planned and constructed in the late 20th century to improve water supply across Thuringia. The project represented a major step in modernizing the region's infrastructure for drinking water management.
The dam represents German engineering excellence through its integration of water supply infrastructure and environmental considerations in the Thuringian Highland.
The dam sits in a rural area and can be reached from several walking trails in the surrounding landscape. It is best visited during daylight hours when conditions are safest for exploration.
The system includes tunnel connections that bring water from more distant parts of the region to the reservoir. These underground passages remain hidden from view but are crucial to how the whole facility operates.
