Rothsee, Reservoir in Roth, Germany
The Rothsee spans 210 hectares of water surface, divided into a main reservoir of 160 hectares and a pre-reservoir of 50 hectares.
The reservoir was constructed as part of the water management system to address water scarcity in Northern Bavaria by transferring water from the Danube region.
Three beach houses along the 12-kilometer shoreline path provide dining options and gathering spaces for visitors throughout the swimming season.
The water quality undergoes regular testing, with temperature measurements taken three times weekly at one meter depth during the swimming season.
The reservoir functions as the central component in the water transfer system between the Danube and Rhine-Main regions, storing pumped water from the Main-Danube Canal.
