There is a special protection area around the dam, so that you only have a (free) view of the water in a few places. The bushes to the right and left of the natural dam are currently so high that there is no view of the side arm of the dam. Nevertheless, the round from the Obersteimel hiking car park is very nice.

The Wiehltalsperre is a dam in the area of the municipality of Reichshof and is used for drinking water supply and flood protection.

The reservoir stretches mainly in an east-west direction (width between 80 and 500 m, length is around 6.5 km). From the mid-1960s, around 450 people from the villages of Auchel, Berg, Dresbach, Finkenrath, Hohl, Jägerhaus, Niederodenspiel, Nothausen, Sprenklingen, Striesshard and Ufersmühle had to leave their homes for construction. The commissioning and start of the water supply from the Wiehltalsperre took place in 1973.
