Dhünntalsperre

Impressive construction and one of the few places where you come directly to the dam. Otherwise, the circular route always remains at a distance, because of drinking water

Really impressive

One of my absolute favorite places

From the barrier wall of the Dhünntalsperre you have a magnificent view of the dam.

The clouds are reflected in the dam.

View over the dam

The so-called dam route leads around the entire reservoir including Vorsperren and covers nearly 40 km.

You can sit here very beautiful on the water with great views over the dam and dam.

The view is just great in winter and summer. An absolute favorite place!

Beautiful view over the dam

Nice view of the Große Dünnthalsperre

Great view of the dam from there

Interesting building and great view of the dam

Unfortunately one and woman does not get right to the water (pity). Otherwise beautiful forest with absolute peace

For me, the most beautiful landscape in the Bergisches Land

The name of the Great Dhünntalsperre derives not from their dimensions, but from their main tributary, the brook "Great Dhünn" ago. The dam was built in 1960-1962. It was quickly recognized that the capacity of the Dhünntalsperre for the future drinking water supply would not be enough. The conversion began in April 1975 and ended in 1985. The round tower in the reservoir, through which the water is extracted, leads 50 meters down to the bottom of the dam.

Great rest area right on the water with a view of the dam.

At Ehreshoven Castle, the cult series "Forbidden Love" was filmed in the 90s.

A great destination to unwind and get some fresh air.

The dam is already an impressive building

Although it is only a dam, the imposing size and the beautiful nooks and crannies are really impressive 🤠

A highlight of the area.

Hiking in the Bergisches Land always takes me back here.

Great view of the Great Dhünntalsperre, after all Germany's second largest drinking water dam. All around great nature with many rare and protected species.
