The Wieltsee is a quarry pond in the municipality of Weyhe in the district of Diepholz. The lake, which was created in the 1960s as part of the construction of the Federal Motorway 1, is located east of the Dreye district of Weyh, directly south of the Weser in the outer dike area. The lake has been connected to the Weser by a breakthrough at Weser km 355 since the 1970s. [1]
Part of the lake is still used for dredging. The largest part is home to several water sports clubs, which have their boat berths here. [1] In addition, the lake is used as a fishing lake.
The owner of the lake is the municipality of Weyhe, which auctioned the site in 2010. [2] [3] The community of Weyhe plans to develop the lake into a recreational area with a marina and to lease it to an operator. [4]
