Coverage typically includes the Bleiloch Reservoir (Thuringian Sea), the Hohenwarte-Stausee, and Saale sections where sailing is allowed. Maps show narrow arms, bays, bridge clearances, coves, and landing spots relevant to dinghies and daysailers.

Useful cartography features include depth contours, shoreline detail, submerged hazards, restricted or nature zones, speed limits, and local rules from dam authorities. Symbols highlight slipways, jetties, moorings, and recommended routes in confined valleys.

Many guides add distance tables, waypoint suggestions, prevailing wind notes shaped by the valleys, and advice for gusty areas near dams. Facilities such as campsites, sheltered coves, boat rental points, and service areas are usually marked for quick reference.
