Sklavensee

Cleaning up was “slave work”

The Grubweiher, as it is correctly called, is an artificially created lake. It was created in the late 60s and 70s when construction rubble was dumped at the entrance to the Kehlgraben. The water from “Webersbuckel” could no longer drain away and so a lake was formed covering an area of one hectare and with a water depth of up to five meters. Water samples showed good results so that it could be used for fishing.

The Sklavensee in Kalchreuth is not suitable for swimming, as it is too shallow. In winter, however, you can skate on the small lake and on the slopes next to the lake excellent sledging.

“Slave Lake”, which was artificially created in the 70s. Here, building rubble was deposited at the Kehlgraben, so that the river could no longer flow away. This is how the lake formed over the years. Before it could be used for fishing, the former rubble heap had to be cleaned and trees removed from the water. A “slave work” for everyone involved and this is how the slave lake got its current name.
There you will find the “Slavensee fish educational trail”, where you can learn a lot about the fish species native to the lake (carp, pike, eel, tench, bream, perch, zander) on display boards.
