Talsperre Falkenstein, Reservoir in Vogtlandkreis, Germany

The Falkenstein Dam features a stone-filled embankment with internal concrete sealing, measuring 27 meters in height and 234 meters in crown length.

Construction of the Falkenstein Dam began in 1971 and ended in 1975, initially serving the local textile industry with process water until its official opening in 1977.

The reservoir functions as an EU-designated swimming location where local clubs organize sports events throughout all seasons of the year.

Visitors find parking spaces below the dam wall, while an extensive network of hiking trails surrounds the water body with boat rentals available near the dam.

A small hydroelectric power plant at the reservoir generates electricity specifically for the facility's operational needs and maintains ecological water flow.
