The flood retention basin Eisenbach (also Eisenbachsee) is a 1.65 ha large reservoir in Baden-Württemberg (Germany), about 5 km southeast of Welzheim. It is located in the midst of the Swabian-Franconian Forest Nature Park and is located on the district of Alfdorf in the Rems-Murr-Kreis at 450 m above sea level. NN. The lake was completed in 1961 by the water association Kocher-Lein, which was founded in 1957 as a result of recurring floods along the Lein in 1957. The Eisenbachsee is one of eleven storage and retention basins that the association still operates today. The lake fed by the eponymous Eisenbach has a catchment area of 7.4 km ² and a permanent storage area of approximately 1.65 ha. Through the 13.5 m high dam a maximum storage area of 11 ha can be achieved.
The Eisenbachsee, where there is also a kiosk, is designated as a swimming area and in the summer months a popular destination. There are extensive loungers around the lake, and the DLRG is on site during summer weekends. The lake is also the starting point of the Waldtierlehrpfad Eisenbachsee.

The "Eisenbachstausee" has been created as a flood retention basin and is dammed by a mound. It is located in the Rems-Murr district. Larger cities in the vicinity are Lorch, Schwäbisch Gmünd or Welzheim. A beautiful lake where enough parking spaces are available. Also a catering business "snack on the lake" where there are herrlichen "pizzas".

The Eisenbach reservoir is actually a flood retention basin.
The Eisenbach reservoir, where there is also a kiosk, is designated as a bathing area and in the summer months a popular destination. There are extensive loungers around the lake. On summer weekends the DLRG is on site.

The small lake is a real insider tip. After swimming, a nice kiosk with a beer garden is waiting for you!
