    The dam is located at a height of 668.5 meters between the Schwarzwaldhochstrasse and the Murgtal on the L 83 about 10 km from Forbach.

    The Schwarzenbach dam measures approx. 2.5 km in length. The imposing dam is one of the pioneering works of the 1920s in dam construction. The water is conducted in underground and above-ground pressure tunnels and pipes for electricity generation to the Rudolf Fettweis plant (EnBW) in Forbach.

    Due to its idyllic location, framed by Black Forest mountains, the lake is a popular destination in summer and in winter for boating, hiking, cycling and swimming.
    There is a hotel with a restaurant right on the lake shore.

      You can walk around the imposing dam, reservoir, as a hiker or cyclist ... the shore invites you to linger (or picnic - take garbage back!)
