Stausee Sohland

Stausee Sohland, reservoir in Germany

Description

Stausee Sohland is a reservoir on the Spree River in Sohland an der Spree, Saxony. The water body was created by damming the river and forms a significant expanse surrounded by forested banks and accessible shoreline.

History

The reservoir was constructed in the mid-20th century to store water for power generation and flood control. Its creation reshaped the river valley and established a new aquatic environment in the region.

Practical

The reservoir is accessible via walking paths and cycling routes that run along its shorelines. Multiple entry points allow visitors to access the water and surrounding areas for outdoor activities.

Did you know?

The water body attracts anglers seeking several fish species found in its waters. The shoreline sections provide seasonal habitats for birdwatching and wildlife observation throughout the year.
