Bautzen Reservoir, reservoir
Bautzen Reservoir is an artificial lake located near Bautzen in Saxony. The water body was created by damming a river and serves as a drinking water supply and power generation facility for the surrounding area.
Bautzen Reservoir was constructed in the mid-20th century to meet the region's growing demands for water and electricity. The dam project transformed the local landscape and supported economic development across Saxony.
The lake is surrounded by walking trails and viewing points where visitors can observe the water and landscape easily. Weather can change quickly, so sturdy shoes and appropriate clothing are recommended, especially on unpaved paths.
The reservoir serves as a breeding and resting site for birds, particularly during migration season when rare species can be spotted. Birdwatchers visit at specific times of year to observe the diverse bird populations inhabiting the area.
