Bevertalsperre, Reservoir in Bergisches Land, Germany
Description
The Bevertalsperre stretches over several kilometers and sits surrounded by wooded slopes between Hückeswagen, Radevormwald and Wipperfürth in the Bergisches Land. Water fills a long valley, and along the shores narrow strips of meadow alternate with dense forest.
History
Between 1896 and 1898 the structure was built to supply drinking water to the growing industry in the Wuppertal valley. In the years 1935 to 1938 extensive work followed that reinforced the dam and equipment and adapted them to increased demands.
Culture
On warm days many families use the official swimming spots, while hikers walk along the shore paths and pause at different points to rest. The name comes from the Bever river, which was dammed here and whose valley once cut deep through the wooded hills.
Practical
Access is via the B483 from Radevormwald or the B237 from Wipperfürth, with several parking areas close to the shores. At some locations a parking fee applies, so it helps to have change ready.
Did you know?
Beneath the water surface tunnels connect this basin with the neighboring Neye and Schevelinger reservoirs, which together form a shared system. This network is called the Beverblock and allows balancing of water volumes between the three facilities.
