Tips

The Fürwiggetalsperre between Meinerzhagen and Lüdenscheid dams six brooks (Hülsebach, Drögenpütt, Fürwigge, Schürfelder Becke, Verse and Brinkbach). Until the construction of the new dam, which was built a few kilometers below, it was called the Versetalsperre.

The gravity dam built from 1902 to 1904 under the direction of Otto Intze according to the Intze principle is the end of the highest situated dam in the Sauerland. It has a capacity of around 1.7 million cubic meters and is primarily used to supply drinking water. The operator is the Ruhrverband.

The restaurant above the dam has been closed since 2001.

Due to construction work on the dam from 2005 to 2007, the water was completely drained. Among other things, a control passage was built into the dam wall (by blasting) [1] and the top of the wall renovated and provided with new railings.
