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.

Hiking

The lake is big enough to let the eye wander. Lakes of this size are rare in Lower Franconia.
