Muldestausee, Artificial lake reservoir in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany
Muldestausee is a large reservoir in the Anhalt-Bitterfeld district that spans an extensive water surface across the region. The lake is surrounded by several municipalities and forms part of a larger network of interconnected lakes.
The lake area formed as a result of past mining activities, when abandoned lignite quarries gradually filled with water over time. This transformation created a new landscape with water bodies and natural areas.
The Red Tower in Pouch dates from the 13th century and now serves as a viewing point where visitors can see across the lake landscape. People come here to experience the expanse of water and explore the architecture around them.
The lake area offers various paths and access points for visitors wanting to explore the water landscape. It is helpful to wear comfortable shoes and check on local routes, as the area is large and somewhat spread out.
Nearby stands a baroque church in Burgkemnitz with a distinctive tower topped by a double-curved onion dome. This architectural feature stands out when exploring the villages around the lake area.
