Twistesee

The Twistesee reservoir extends across 121 hectares with a length of three kilometers and holds 9.1 million cubic meters of water at 211 meters elevation.

The construction of Twistetal reservoir started in 1972 following severe flooding in 1965, leading to the establishment of the Hessische Wasserverband Diemel water management agency.

The reservoir integrates multiple recreational zones including a sandy beach, separate naturist section, water skiing facilities, and designated fishing areas for different activities.

Visitors can access free WiFi at multiple locations around the lake, including the café and lido, while enjoying facilities such as changing rooms and modern restrooms.

The water ski center provides equipment and instruction for beginners and advanced users, while bird watching stations along Braunsen shore protect endangered water species.
