A really idyllic lake with ducks and swans and a great view of the Olsberg summit.

The Olsberg reservoir dams up the Ruhr near Olsberg. The barrage was artificially created in 1928 as part of the construction of the Steinhelle power plant. The lake has a capacity of 72,000 m3 and serves as a reservoir for the Steinhelle 2 power plant block, which generates electrical energy with an output of 240 kw using a Kaplan turbine over a gradient of 7 m. The reservoir was built by the United Electricity Works of Westphalia and operated until 2000. The reservoir is now owned by RWE, with which VEW merged.

Beautiful paths on and around the lake, several seating areas and a beautiful view from the summit of Olsberg
