Kleiner Galgenteich, Cultural heritage reservoir in Altenberg, Germany
Kleiner Galgenteich contains 30,000 cubic meters of water and reaches a depth of 3 meters, functioning as a recreational water body in Saxony.
The reservoir originated from mining activities and received its name from a gallows that once stood near the location during the 16th century.
The reservoir forms part of Germany's oldest artificial ponds system, demonstrating the engineering capabilities of historical water management structures.
The reservoir includes facilities for swimming, with slides and tennis courts, plus a camping area that accommodates caravans and tents near the water.
While the larger Galgenteich serves as a drinking water reservoir, this smaller pond transforms into a recreational lake with multiple water activities.
