Sailach Reservoir (Gnadental Flood Retention Basin)

The flood retention basin Gnadental, also called Sailach reservoir, was built between 1974 and 1976 as a flood protection device. Owner is the water association Fichtenberger Rot, the planning and construction management was at the Water Department Schwäbisch Hall. The total cost amounted to 2.92 million €, the reservoir was flooded in 1977.
 The artificial lake lies calmly and idyllically in the valley of the beaver above gnadental and exhibits a depth of 1-5 m.
As this is a flood retention basin, heavy water rains can cause it to fluctuate temporarily, which can increase the water surface area up to 27 hectares in the event of full rain.

No fishing, no swimming, no boating ....... 😕😔.

There are always new things to discover, great hiking and mountain bike tours
