Geeste Reservoir, Artificial reservoir in Geeste, Germany
The Geeste Reservoir spans two kilometers in length and reaches a width of 1.3 kilometers, covering a water surface of 230 hectares.
The reservoir was constructed during the 1980s to function as a cooling water basin for the Emsland nuclear power plant located 12 kilometers away.
Multiple sports clubs manage facilities at the reservoir, including the Zeilclub Speichersee Emsland with 190 boat berths for sailing activities.
Visitors can access an 850-meter-long beach with sunbathing areas, playgrounds, beach volleyball courts, and a restaurant positioned on the dam.
A 50-hectare wetland near the reservoir contains an observation tower with binoculars for viewing rare flora and fauna in the protected area.
