Wiehltalsperre, Water reservoir in Reichshof, Germany.
The Wiehltalsperre extends over 6.5 kilometers with a width ranging from 80 to 500 meters, containing 31.5 million cubic meters of water.
The construction of Wiehltalsperre in the 1960s required the relocation of 450 residents from eleven villages to create space for the reservoir.
The water reserve maintains a network of walking paths through forests and meadows, allowing visitors to explore the protected natural landscapes.
The reservoir, along with Genkeltalsperre, supplies drinking water to 500,000 people, producing 25 million cubic meters annually through the Auchel water treatment plant.
A small island in the preliminary basin gained recognition through television advertisements by Krombacher Brewery and now functions as a tourist attraction.
