Destination: Altenbrak

This stage takes us over Königshütte up to Rübeland with the famous dripstone caves and the still active open-cast mine. From here, we follow the path through floodplain forests and the Wendefurther reservoir, past the impressive Rappbode dam, the largest drinking water reservoir in Germany, to Altenbrak.

The highlight of this stage is, on the one hand, the cave village of Rübeland with the famous dripstone caves, the Herrmann and Baumann caves. One should take time for at least one of the two world-famous dripstone caves. If you stay overnight here, visiting the cave festival is obvious. On the other hand, you experience the Rappbode reservoir, with its 106-meter-high gravity dam. In comparison, the dam of the Wendefurther reservoir, where an information center is located, is quite modest.
