Helmbachweiher, Reservoir in Elmstein, Germany
The Helmbachweiher reservoir extends across 0.6 hectares within the Palatinate Forest, reaching a maximum depth of 2 meters in its clear waters.
The reservoir was constructed in 1970 by damming the Kohlbach stream, a tributary of the Helmbach, following regional water management practices.
The reservoir functions as a Kneipp bathing pool, continuing the German tradition of water therapy for promoting physical and mental health.
Visitors can access several facilities near the reservoir, including a forester's lodge, an educational garden, and designated areas for barbecues.
The reservoir lies at the intersection of three municipal forestry estates: Elmstein, Kirrweiler, and Venningen, creating a shared natural resource.
