Located in the Oberbergischer Kreis, near Bergneustadt, the Aggertalsperre invites to numerous hikes and walks with a view of the water. Among other things, here starts the "energy path" of the raids of the mountain hiking country. Furthermore, various water sports invite you to visit the dam.

Bathing places are in the "Strandbad Bruch", as well as "Freizeitcamp Aggertalsperre". There are also rowing and pedal boats for an exciting tour on the water.

Under water, the Aggertalsperre is a great area for amateur and recreational divers. For the use of the dam for diving please contact the "Tauchsport- und Forschungsgemeinschaft Siegerland eV in Siegen".

Underwater sights:
• fully preserved viaduct (interchangeable bridge arch)
• crushing plant
• dam
• stone walls
• cliffs

The Aggerverband also offers for groups a tour of the dam with interesting insights into the technology.
To enjoy the day to the full, camping and barbecue areas offer opportunities for a short and long stay in a cozy atmosphere.

Arrival by public transport:
e.g. From Cologne central station (platform 10) take the regional train RB25 direction Meinerzhagen
Stop: Gummersbach (track 2)
Continue with the bus 318 (minibus) from Gummersbach Bf (bus platform 11) direction Lieberhausen
Stop: Genkeltalsperre, Gummersbach-Bredenbruch

So if you want to know exactly: 😜

"... The Aggertalsperre is a dam in Oberbergisches Land. It lies between the towns of Gummersbach, Bergneustadt and Meinerzhagen in North Rhine-Westphalia Germany.
The dam in the Agger valley is fed by the Agger, Genkel and Rengse rivers and has a total storage capacity of 20.5 million cubic metres. The reservoir covers an area of about 120 to 150 ha depending on the water level, according to other information even 193 ha. The dam wall is 225 to 230 m long and 45 m high. It was built between 1927 and 1929. Due to the three valleys, the reservoir visually stands out from many other dams.
The purpose of the dam is hydroelectric power generation, flood protection, low water elevation and service water supply. According to various sources, the power plant capacity is 2.25 or 3 MW.
The dam is a gravity dam made of poured concrete. In 1966 the water side was resealed with asphalt concrete.
On and at the reservoir are possible: sailing, surfing, boating, fishing, camping and diving.
On the ridge between the Agger and Genkel arms of Burg Zinne there are remains of early historical ring walls from the Franconian period..."
