Staustufe Serrig, Barrage in Serrig, Germany
Staustufe Serrig is a dam on the Saar River that creates a large reservoir upstream. The structure controls water flow and generates electricity from the height difference between the upper and lower water levels.
The dam was built between 1981 and 1986 and stands as one of Germany's largest barrages on a natural river. Its construction represented a major hydroelectric development project on the Saar.
The facility offers guided tours where visitors descend 25 meters underground to learn about hydroelectric power generation and water management systems.
The site is easily accessible with viewpoints where you can see the dam and reservoir. Visitors can explore the area and enjoy views shaped by the water basin and surrounding landscape.
The dam creates a stable water regime that protects against flooding while allowing boat traffic on the reservoir. This combination of uses makes the structure an important asset for regional management.
