    There is a beautiful view from the dam. The dam was built to generate electricity and is now part of a local recreation area called Diepental. Gastronomy, mini golf, the Waldquell outdoor pool, rowing and pedal boat rentals and some Nordic walking routes and hiking trails complete the recreation area.

      The Diepentaler Talsperre (also Halbachtalsperre), an impoundment of the Murbach, is located in the border area of the cities of Leverkusen / Pattscheid, Leichlingen (Rhineland) and Burscheid and forms the center of the popular local recreation area Diepental (restaurant, holiday homes, mini golf, fishing).



      It consists of a pre-barrier and a main barrier which are separated from each other by a road embankment. It was built by August Halbach between 1902 and 1908. The dam was built only to generate electricity and is now part of a local recreation area. The site of the area and the reservoir itself are still privately owned by the Halbach family, but are open to the public.

        A dam that is still privately owned by the Halbach family, but is open to the public. Today it is also an important local recreation area in the border area of the cities of Leverkusen, Leichlingen and Burscheid.



        Many hiking trails lead through the beautiful Diepental, also well suited for Nordic walking and cyclists and thus offer relaxation in a beautiful natural landscape. Fishing, pedal boat rental and mini golf are also available.



        The Waldquell outdoor pool provides the appropriate cooling and if you are hungry there is a farmhouse parlor with a beer garden, the Café Platzhirsch and a kiosk.
