Diemelsee Dam

Highlight • Monument

The original purpose of the Diemel Reservoir – in conjunction with the Eder Reservoir – was to balance the water levels of the Weser and the Mittelland Canal. This was intended to improve shipping conditions on the Upper Weser. Since 1960, the primary focus has been on balancing the Upper Weser.

The approximately 42-meter-high dam, completed in 1924, and the power plant building are now listed as historical monuments. The view of the dam is impressive.

The dam is also considered one of the Sauerland's spiritual places. It symbolizes the theme of "power and strength."

Diemel Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

By bike you can fully enjoy the picturesque landscape of Lake Diemelsee. When cycling around the lake you also have the opportunity to rest on beautiful beaches and hop into the water if you want to refresh yourself. In Heringhausen there is even a free beach, where you will find next to the large lawn and a kiosk, showers and play equipment for children in the water and on the beach.

Diemelradweg between Deisfeld and Hemmighausen

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

On a barely traveled dirt road you roll through the rolling hills of northern Hesse. If you let your gaze wander over the fields and pastures, then you can leave your entire everyday life behind and just get involved in the nature experience.
