    The Affolderner See is a 1.65 km² reservoir on the Eder.

    The reservoir serves as the lower reservoir for the Waldeck pumped-storage power plants, as a flood retention and equalization reservoir for the Eder, Edersee, Fulda, Weser and Mittelland Canal, and as a storage reservoir for the "Affoldern" run-of-river power plant. The body of water is designated as a bird sanctuary and serves as a fishing area.

      Since the Affolderner See is used as a flood retention and compensation basin for the Eder and Edersee, swimming is prohibited here. If water is drained, it can be dangerous.
