Fischbachsee, Artificial lake in Ellwangen, Germany.

The Fischbachsee extends 1.2 kilometers in length and 110 meters in width, covering 8.9 hectares within the Baden-Württemberg Ostalbkreis region.

The Wasserverband Obere Jagst constructed the Fischbachsee in 1971 by damming the Fischbach stream to manage water flow and prevent flooding.

The lake connects multiple communities, including Ellwangen, Stimpfach, and Ellenberg, serving as a central water feature in the Virngrund forest landscape.

Visitors can access the lake through three parking areas, with the main lot located near the K 3228 road that runs through the Fischbach valley.

The lake features a small tree island in its upper section and an alder grove near the dam, surrounded by dense forest reaching the shoreline.
