Talsperre Heyda, Water dam in Wipfratal, Germany

The Talsperre Heyda forms a reservoir with a water surface of 95 hectares and contains 5 million cubic meters of water in its storage space.

Construction of the dam took place from 1980 to 1988, using clay and silt materials on sandstone foundation to create a homogeneous earth structure.

The reservoir supports local fishing activities and provides a central gathering point for outdoor recreation enthusiasts in the Thuringia region.

Visitors can access a circular hiking trail around the reservoir, which connects to a seminar hotel and provides multiple vantage points of the structure.

In 2013, thousands of silver carp perished in the reservoir due to age-related factors, as the cold water prevented their natural reproduction cycle.
