Der Hohenwarte Stausee

The Thuringians have given this region an affectionate nickname: They call it their "Thuringian Sea". In fact, the view of the vast expanses of water framed by deep forests resembles a Scandinavian fjord landscape. Europe's largest contiguous reservoir is located in the Thuringian Slate Mountains / Obere Saale nature reserve. And right in the middle: the Hohenwarte Stausee Weg - 74.4 km that you won't forget in a hurry.
