Happurger See, Reservoir in Happurg, Germany
The Happurger See stretches across 47 hectares in the Franconian Alps, surrounded by forests and natural landscapes at 49.4825° N latitude.
The reservoir was constructed in 1955 for electricity generation purposes, with the pumped-storage power plant beginning operations in 1958.
The reservoir brings together local communities through outdoor activities, while maintaining strict environmental protection measures for water resource management.
Motor boats are not permitted on the lake, and swimming is restricted to designated areas, with a nearby gravel lake offering additional water activities.
The water level of Happurger See fluctuates according to power demand, as the reservoir supplies the Franconian regional power plant system.
