Departure from Schleiz (Saale-Orla-Kreis)
The River Saale rises in the Fichtelgebirge and then winds its way along as the former inner-German border river between Bavaria and Thuringia. Once it reaches the Thuringian Slate Mountains, it flows through five cascades, one of which is the Bleiloch reservoir with the adjacent Burgkhammer dam. A truly enchanting landscape surrounds the Saale meanders here near the small village of Burgk, situated on a hill high above the river. Its history is closely linked to the famous Burgk Castle.
