The Happurg reservoirThe reservoir, which was created in 1955 for the purpose of generating electricity, is located in the idyllic low mountain landscape of the Franconian Jura. The lake is fed by the Rohrbach and the Kainsbach.

The lake is on average around 47 hectares in size. The lake takes its name from the neighboring town of Happurg. It was built by the Nuremberg architect and Nuremberg City Culture Prize winner Franz Reichel.Motorboats are not permitted on the Happurger Lake, which is not always fully flooded after dry periods and then has a lower water level.Water surface: 47 hectares
