Silbersee, Artificial lake in Treffelstein, Germany.
The Silbersee extends over 55 hectares with three sandy beaches located on the western, southern, and eastern shores of the water surface.
The lake emerged in 1968 when local structures, including a sawmill with its chapel and a farm, were removed to create a flood retention basin.
A 6-kilometer circular trail surrounds the lake with information panels detailing the natural environment, regional landscape, and local history.
During summer, visitors have access to chemical toilets near swimming zones, while winter brings maintained cross-country skiing trails around the lake.
The hydroelectric plant at Silbersee uses a Francis turbine with 96 kilowatts capacity, generating 270,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity each year.
