Twistesee

Twistesee is a reservoir in Bad Arolsen with a large water surface offering multiple recreation zones including a sandy beach, water skiing area, and fishing spots. The lake is supported by facilities like changing rooms, modern restrooms, and a café located along the shore.

The reservoir was built in response to serious flooding in the region, designed to store water and prevent flood damage to downstream communities. This water management project transformed the landscape and remains important for regional water supply.

The shoreline accommodates different visitor groups, with designated zones for swimming, naturism, and water activities that show how the lake serves diverse recreational preferences. This layout reflects how local communities have shaped the space to welcome everyone.

The area is easy to access with changing rooms and modern restrooms spread across the site. Weekday visits are generally quieter, while summer months offer the most comfortable conditions for outdoor activities around the water.

Observation points along the shore allow visitors to spot water birds and migratory species, particularly during seasonal passages. These areas are kept quiet to avoid disturbing the wildlife.
