Lake Wohlen is a reservoir in the Bern region that stores water for hydroelectric power generation and local water supply. The lake has clear shorelines and is surrounded by rolling countryside typical of the Swiss midlands.
The reservoir was constructed in the early 1900s to generate electricity and has shaped the landscape of the region since then. Its creation was part of Switzerland's broader shift toward hydroelectric power development.
The shoreline is accessible with places to stop and enjoy views of the water. Spring through autumn offers the most pleasant conditions for a visit to the area.
