Tankumsee, Artificial lake in Isenbüttel, Germany.
The Tankumsee encompasses 57 hectares of water surface, extends 1.3 kilometers in length, and reaches a maximum depth of 16.7 meters.
Created around 1970 during the construction of the Elbe Side Canal, the Tankumsee officially opened as a swimming lake in June 1976.
The name Tankum originates from ancient regional field names, suggesting pre-Germanic linguistic roots related to algae masses or moorland.
The lake features a 1000-meter sandy beach, designated swimming areas, boat rentals, volleyball courts, and multiple food establishments.
The surrounding recreation area spans 222 hectares within the Aller glacial valley, between the protected Barnbruch landscape zones.
