Goldisthal is located in the upper Schwarza valley. The small community is nestled in one of the largest contiguous forest areas. With a little luck, you can observe some endangered animals in their natural environment during long hikes. In Goldisthal, gold mining was carried out in earlier years.In recent years, the place became known for the construction of the pumped storage plant of the same name. The water of the Schwarza is used here to produce environmentally friendly energy.
