Perfstausee, Flood retention basin in Marburg-Biedenkopf, Germany
The Perfstausee spans 18 hectares during flood conditions and maintains a normal water surface area of 13 hectares between Breidenbach and Breidenstein.
The construction of Perfstausee commenced in 1984 following severe February floods, with the facility opening its gates on September 18, 1993.
The lake area features a nature reserve where visitors can observe water birds from designated observation points throughout the seasons.
The facility offers non-motorized boating activities, including kayak and paddleboard rentals through automated services, along with a renovated boat dock.
Recent water quality studies from 2017 to 2020 led to specific improvements in the lake's conditions, enhancing its recreational potential.
