View of Ellertshäuser Lake

Highlight • Viewpoint

With its area of 33 hectares, Lake Ellertshausen is not only proud of its size, but also wonderful to look at. You can no longer really tell that this is a reservoir, the beautiful blue blends so perfectly into its surroundings.

Highlight • Viewpoint

The dam was built between 1955 and 1957. With 33 hectares, Lake Ellertshausen is the largest reservoir in the Lower Franconia administrative region. The lake is named after the deserted area of Ellertshausen, a village that was abandoned in the 15th century.
