Decksteiner Weiher, Artificial lake in Lindenthal, Germany
Decksteiner Weiher is an artificial lake in Lindenthal that curves gently across the landscape, creating a substantial water area for recreation and leisure. The lake is surrounded by walking paths and has facilities for boating and other water-based activities.
The lake was created in the 1920s under city planning initiatives as part of a broader effort to develop the Lindenthal area. Its construction reflected the urban growth and development plans for the city during that period.
The lake serves as a gathering place where locals enjoy leisurely walks along the water, picnics on the grass, and casual water activities with friends and family. You'll see people of all ages here, especially on sunny days when the banks fill with residents enjoying their free time.
The lake shore is easily accessible from multiple entry points, with plenty of space for relaxing, picnicking, or sports. The warmer months offer the most enjoyable visits, though the walking paths are passable year-round.
The lake was originally lined with large concrete panels, which had to be replaced with clay after World War II damage affected the structure. This unconventional waterproofing method shaped the lake's foundation in ways still visible today.
