The artificial lake was built in the 1980s as a cooling water basin for the Emsland nuclear power plant, twelve kilometers away. It is about two kilometers long and just over a kilometer wide at its widest point.

At the reservoir Geeste there are many nice opportunities for a break outdoors or in a locality, after or during a bike ride on beautifully situated paths.

It is not only wonderful to cycle along the Geeste reservoir, but also to take a break there. There is a great bathing beach at the lake where you can jump into the water and cool off. If you want a bit more action on, in or under the water, you can try sailing, surfing or diving.
