Bevertalsperre, Reservoir in Bergisches Land, Germany

The Bevertalsperre extends across 200 hectares with a depth of 31.5 meters, storing 23.7 million cubic meters of water at 296 meters elevation.

Engineers constructed the Bevertalsperre between 1896 and 1898 to supply water for Wuppertal industries, followed by major upgrades from 1935 to 1938.

The reservoir hosts numerous outdoor activities throughout summer months, with designated swimming areas at Zornigen Ameise, Campsites I, II, and Käfernberg.

Visitors can access multiple parking areas near the reservoir via B483 from Radevormwald or B237 from Wipperfürth, with some locations requiring parking fees.

The Bevertalsperre connects to Neye and Schevelinger valley reservoirs through underground tunnels, forming an integrated water system called the Beverblock.
