Barragem de Rauschenbach

Magnificent view of the dam. Especially in connection with the evening sun a nice photo motif.

The Rauschenbach dam is a dam in the Free State of Saxony. The dammed waters are the Flöha and the Wernsbach. It was built between 1960 and 1968 in the upper Flöha valley near Cämmerswalde to supply drinking water. The water is routed via the Freiberg district water-course facility into the Middle Ore Mountains reservoir system; through further transfers it reaches Chemnitz, Dresden and Freiberg. The backwater of the Flöha (Czech: Fláje) reaches into the adjacent area of the municipality of Český Jiřetín (Georgendorf) in the Czech Republic. The total storage area is 114.58 ha, of which 99.43 ha are on the German side and 15.15 ha on the Czech side.
