    The Pirk Dam impounds the waters of the White Elster River and is located in the Vogtland region near Oelsnitz, not far from the former inner-German border. The reservoir was built in the 1930s because the growing Vogtland textile industry required increasing quantities of process water 100 years ago. The dam wall is over 200 meters long. Today, the reservoir is a large local recreation area offering activities such as swimming, sailing, surfing, cycling, and hiking. During modernization, a bird island was artificially created.
