Haunetalsperre

The Haunetalsperre features a 230-meter-long dam structure forming a reservoir with a regular surface area of 15.2 hectares and a volume of 0.29 million cubic meters.

The construction of the Haunetalsperre began in autumn 1983 and concluded in spring 1988, addressing frequent flooding events in the Haune river region.

The dam area integrates into the regional infrastructure with walking paths and cycling routes, including a section of the Jacob's Path from Vacha to Fulda.

The reservoir can expand to 75.4 hectares during flood conditions, with integrated discharge facilities in the northern third of the dam managing water flow at 12.5 cubic meters per second.

The dam structure contains a hydroelectric power plant generating up to 68 kilowatts of electricity through water regulation techniques during flood events.
