Lohsa I reservoir, lake in Lohsa, Saxony, Germany
Lohsa I reservoir is a large body of water located near the town of Lohsa in Saxony. The water is held back by a dam and spreads across a wide surface surrounded by flat fields and scattered woodland areas.
The reservoir was constructed several decades ago to store water and control flooding in the region. Since its creation, it has become an established part of local water management and community infrastructure.
Walking and cycling paths run along the shores of the reservoir, making it easy to explore the area on foot or by bike. The open landscape and quiet surroundings make it a straightforward spot to enjoy outdoor activities and watch local wildlife.
Water flows into the reservoir primarily from the Spree River and is released back into the same river after storage, creating a natural cycle of water management. In winter, the surface can freeze, transforming the landscape into a quiet, still space during the colder months.
