Muldenberger Talsperre, Germany - 25th October 2009
By: fam-united
On our way to Kingenthal we passed at the Muldenberg river dam. It provides about 100 000 people with water. The dam wall has the longest mural crown of all river dams in Saxony. It was built in 1920 - 1925.
The weather was very cold and windy and it drizzled. So we hurried back to the car.

Klingenthal, Germany - 25th October 2009
By: fam-united
Klingenthal is a town in the Vogtlandkreis district, in the Free State of Saxony, Germany. It is situated directly on the border with the Czech Republic opposite the Czech town of Kraslice, 29 km southeast of Plauen, and 33 km northwest of Karlovy Vary.
The Aschberg ("cinder mountain") towers above the town at 936 m. The extremely elongated town, 10.5 km from end to end, is surrounded by numerous woods of firs.
The town is bisected by the Döbra and Zwota rivers. These two rivers unite at the Czech-German border to form the Svatava river, which in turn flows into the Ohře river at Sokolov.
Klingenthal's inhabitants number 8,996 (September 30, 2005). The town is famed for its manufacture of musical instruments and is a well-known ski resort.
We visited the Vogtland-Arena, a wellknown ski jump in Germany. The first ski jump was opened in 1959, the new Vogtland-Arena was opened in 2006.
I was really impressed by the altitude of it.
With this train we drove up the hill.
Wow, isn't it high?
I would love to meet some of those ski flyer, but unhappily there is no training today.

Kuhberg Netzschkau, Germany - 26th October 2009
By: fam-united
For lunch we drove to the Kuhberg, the highest point in northern Saxony. Our lunch wasn't that great and also watching the play train wasn't fun. We only saw some crashs. We wanted to go to the top of the tower, but it was too expensive. So all in all this place was annoying.
