The dam was built for flood control and to augment low water levels. Today, it's also a fantastic local recreation area. Tamina Kallert, presenter of the WDR program "Wunderschön" (Beautiful), has already discovered this.

Tamina tried stand-up paddleboarding on the Bever Dam for the show. You can also rent boards, book courses and tours. You can find more information here: dasbergische.de/poi/stand-up-paddling-schule-verleih

Hiking

This is really a nice tour around the dam.
Here's a good place to start. Above the Angry Ant is a parking lot.

Other activities

Great place to go SUP or canoeing or just swimming. A week's ticket for canoeing or SUP costs €5. But it is rarely controlled.
