    Hiking

    The Aartalsee is located in the upper Aartal in the communities of Bischoffen and Hohenahr in the Lahn-Dill district, north of its district town of Wetzlar and northwest of Gießen in Hesse.
    The Aartalsperre damms the Aar in its upper section west of the Niederweidbach basin and forms an artificially created lake in the southern Gladenbach mountains. The dam mainly serves to protect the Aar and Dill from flooding. Other uses include low water elevation, power generation, fishing and recreational recreation. The dam should also stimulate the region economically. The lake was opened as a swimming lake in 1992.

    Mountain biking

    If you just want a short refreshing ride then I recommend biking around the Aartalsee! But don't bike on Sunday Afternoon as it's too full with people walking with their small children, and they block the way a lot!
