The Hegbachsee was created in the mid-1960s through gravel extraction for the adjacent motorway. Before the current name caught on in 1987, six different names for the lake were in circulation, including Autobahnbaggersee and Nauheimer Waldsee. Today, the body of water serves as a flood retention basin and a recreational area. Although swimming is not permitted here, a walk around the lake is worthwhile in any season. The diverse birdlife, in particular, is something to marvel at here.

The path is close to the shore and no private property disturbs

Now in the fall, the water birds have the lake for themselves; In the summer swimmers and surfers are playing in Hegbachsee.
