Wiesensee, Reservoir in Westerwaldkreis, Germany.
Wiesensee is a reservoir located in the Westerwaldkreis region of Rhineland-Palatinate, fed by natural streams running through the landscape. The body of water features a spacious shoreline with varying terrain and vegetation patterns around its edges.
The reservoir was built in the mid-20th century to secure water supplies for the region. The project grew out of the need to manage flooding and provide stable water resources for local communities and industry.
The reservoir connects multiple communities including Stahlhofen, Pottum, and Winnen, serving as a central point for local gatherings and outdoor activities.
The water is easily accessible from the land with marked paths running along the shore. Visitors have plenty of space to move around and can reach different areas without difficulty.
In winter, the surface often freezes over and creates a natural ice field where visitors can ice skate. The frozen water becomes a popular spot for winter sports and outdoor activities among local visitors.
