The 400 m long and 47 m high Eder Dam was built between 1908 and 1914.
It serves to secure shipping on the Weser River in the summer, as well as to generate electricity
and as flood protection. With a capacity of up to 200 million cubic meters,
the Edersee is the third-largest reservoir in Germany and, with over 400,000 overnight stays, a popular holiday region.
Guided tours are available from June to August on Wednesdays at 4 p.m., lasting approximately 45 minutes.
