At the end of 2020, work began to drain the lake. The Breitenauer See flood retention basin must undergo an in-depth safety review. To do this, it was imperative that all of the water be drained off so that all safety-relevant systems can be examined and repaired. The lake is now almost empty and offers interesting insights.

The most beautiful (and only) large bathing lake in the region. In the summer, especially at the weekend break full, so that as a racing cyclist would rather make a bow around the main artery through the bathing area - if you do not want to get into the water yourself. During the bathing season, the area (and also the passage) also costs admission: You can shell out 3 euros per person.

Be careful when cycling around the lake: there are relatively many people walking. Cyclists make relatively slow progress.

The Breitenauer See (retention basin Breitenau) is a reservoir and bathing lake in the valley of the Sulm in the area of Obersulm and Löwenstein in the district of Heilbronn (Baden-Württemberg). After the devastating flood damage of the 1960s and 1970s, the Wasserverband Sulm, founded in 1973, built it in the years 1975 to 1980 for flood protection especially for Neckarsulm and its industrial areas. The lake was named after the nearby Breitenauer Hof and is always partially dammed.
By damming the Sulm created a reservoir with 2.3 million m³ of water and 40 ha of water surface. At high tide, the lake area grows to approx. 47 ha. The lake is 1500 m long and between 200 and 500 m wide. The dam is 425 m long and 21 m high. The water depth at the dam is 16 m.
