This ain’t Norway, this is Høhenwarte.
(Of course it is river Saale and lake Hohenwarte. The norwegian style branding is part of a tourism campaign.)

Conrod power plant
Taken on a short hike around Ziegenrück. Lake Hohenwarte with former “Conrod” powerplant, which became useless after the damn has been built. (finally it is being renovated)
An awesome “playground” when I was a kid. Now it is owned and access isn’t allowed. (not sure if it was when I was a kid, but in the reunification aftermath, nobody cared)
Ziemestalbrücke
Always worth a visit. Still an awesome place.
Rainy Day 2
Another taken on a rainy day. Foggy Saale river in Ziegenrück
Rainy Day 1
Upper Saale river with a moody layer of fog on a grey and rainy day.
Saaleland
Upper Saale valley as original as it was before the well known cascade of dams were built. Beautiful nature together with Water mills give an idea how the whole area must have been looked in the past.
Riding Ziemestalbrücke
Ziemestalbrücke. A stunning piece of engineering, built in 1895. Hasn’t seen any train since 20 years.
Ziemestalbrücke
Late summer bike ride along upper Saale river. A throwback to my childhood.
Morning tour
Best part about kayaking: floating through a silent and smooth lake. I couldn’t imagine a better way to become one with nature. I like it.
