Haspertalsperre, Reservoir in Haspe, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany
Description
Haspertalsperre is a dam in the Haspe district that stores water for the region's needs and sits in a wooded valley. The wall holds back water to form a large lake that spreads between the hillsides.
History
The dam was built in the early 20th century to secure growing water supplies during the region's industrialization. The project was part of large efforts to equip North Rhine-Westphalia with modern infrastructure.
Culture

Practical
