On one side of the dam and on the other side a river landscape with 2 arms.

It can be combined excellently with a tour of Alt-Beyenburg and if you want a little more, you can also do a little climbing at Landhaus Bilstein.

🎨🖌Historic Beyenburg🎨🖌
A district of Wuppertal, yet far from the big city.
🎨🖌Picturesquely situated on the Wupper River🌊💙.
With idyllic half-timbered houses and important sights🎨🖌.

🌊💙The Beyenburg Reservoir is one of the smallest dams in the Bergisches Land region and is operated by the Wupper Association🩵.
The reservoir was built in its current form between 1950 and 1953 and opened in 1954.
The reservoir has a capacity of up to 465,000 cubic meters.
