About this place Reservoir Oberwartha

Reservoir Oberwartha is a cruising area in the woods around Dresden's upper reservoir. Find it at 1-3 Talstraße in Saxony, a natural, outdoor spot if you're looking to meet people away from the city. It's just off the highway, so you'll want a car to get there. It feels secluded, tucked in among the trees. Cruising areas like this are usually pretty low-key, open-air spots. They pull in a mix of locals and travelers looking for something casual and discreet. The woods here give you both privacy and a bit of nature, which is a different vibe than the city's gay bars. As with any outdoor spot like this, know the local rules and be smart about safety. Dresden's LGBTQ+ scene isn't just bars and clubs; it includes outdoor places too. If you're checking out the city's gay community, you'll find different options for different tastes and times. This one's probably best in daylight or early evening, depending on the season. And seriously, drive there.

Beautiful reservoir. Lots of trash, which is due to the visitors. Take your things with you!

A very beautiful lake where couples can find peace and quiet (there are secluded spots). I don't know much about the trail, but there is a footpath. It's a pleasant place for a walk and a nice swim.
