    Tips

    June 9, 2021

    As perfectly as the Schluchsee fits into the landscape of the Black Forest, you might think that it is a natural lake. The level of the Ur-Schluchsee was about 30 meters below the level of today's lake. It emerged in its present form through the construction of the dam, which was completed in 1932. Since then, the Schluchsee has been the highest reservoir lake in Germany.

    The Schluchsee is also the upper basin of the HhĂ€usern pumped storage plant, which in turn is part of the Schluchsee group, a series of reservoirs between HĂŒtten and Waldshut, which are connected by pumping stations.
