Stausee Losheim, reservoir in Germany
Stausee Losheim is a reservoir in the Saarland region near Losheim am See, featuring a large water surface surrounded by expansive green areas along the shoreline. The body of water stretches across a natural landscape with forest areas and has accessible waterfront sections, including a beach area with lounging spaces and water sport facilities.
The reservoir was constructed in the 20th century primarily for water storage and flood control purposes in the region. Over time, it developed into an important recreational area where visitors today can enjoy leisure and nature while benefiting from its original infrastructure.
The reservoir takes its name from the nearby town of Losheim am See and serves as a meeting place where locals and visitors from the region gather. The beach area and waterfront are spots where people swim, have picnics, and spend time together, making this water body an important part of community life.
A walking path circles the lake where visitors can stroll or jog, with outdoor fitness stations positioned along the route. Swimming outside marked zones is not permitted for safety reasons, and dogs are allowed only in designated areas.
A new water park called Trick17 opened at the lake in 2025, featuring slides, play zones, and splash areas across a large water surface. This modern recreational facility has expanded offerings and attracts families with children.
