Krombachtalsperre, Reservoir in Lahn-Dill-Kreis, Germany.
The Krombachtalsperre extends across 95 hectares of water surface, positioned at an elevation of 523 meters in the Westerwald region.
The construction of this reservoir occurred between 1946 and 1949, requiring the relocation of the Herborn-Rennerod railway line for its development.
The northern section of the lake forms a nature reserve, integrated into the EU Bird Protection Area Hoher Westerwald, supporting numerous breeding species.
The reservoir functions as part of a chain of five hydroelectric power plants operated by EAM, contributing to power generation and flood protection.
Winter activities include cross-country skiing on the surrounding paths, while summer brings volunteer patrols ensuring safety around the lake.
