    The Affoldern Reservoir (Affoldern Lake) in Hesse is a reservoir of approximately 165 hectares, created in 1929 and expanded in 1972 near Edertal. It serves as the lower reservoir for the Waldeck pumped-storage power plants, for flood control, and as a nature reserve rich in fish. The lake is known for its large waterfowl population, opportunities for fishing (salmonids), and the adjacent cycle path.
