Picnic Area Hasselvorsperre (HWN 53)

Highlight • Monument

The small river Hassel is dammed here, which was built in the years 1956-1959. The reservoir, which is normally full to the brim, is part of the Rappbode dam system. The dam is mainly used to pre-clean the drinking water. Suspended matter and other coarse impurities settle on the bottom of the artificial lake. The pre-cleaned water then flows over the overflow on the dam wall towards the main dam.
