    The Bigge Dam was built in the 1950s and 60s and dams the Bigge to form the very large Biggesee. The dam is very impressive and is over 50 meters high. In addition to generating electricity, its main purpose is to regulate the water level in winter to protect the lower-lying regions.

      There are also guided tours on Biggedamm.

      "The Biggetalsperre was built in front of the gates of the city of Attendorn in the 1960s. Its primary purpose is to store or release water as needed and thus ensure a consistent amount of water in the Ruhr. From the reservoir, water can be drained via the Bigge and Lenne rivers Up to 40 percent of the required additional water from all dams can be released into the Ruhr river system.

        There is a place to stop for refreshments and the Bigschifffahrt is not far away.
