12의 네이탈스페르가지 명소 & 주요 장소

Interesting information board about the history and function of the Neye and Bevertal dams; the technical structure of the water level measuring station is also worth seeing.

"The Bever Block describes the interconnected dams Bevertalsperre, Neyetalsperre, Schevelinger Dam and the Mühlenteich, which are connected to each other by water tunnels." (LVR Department of Environment, 2013) https://www.kuladig.de/Objectansicht/SWB-220262

Tunnel inflow between the Bever and Neye dams

At the Neyetalsperre there are some nice rest areas with views.

Since the water requirements of the city of Remscheid could no longer be completely covered by the neighboring Eschbach dam, the first plans for another dam were made as early as 1902. After work began in the Neyetal near Wipperfürth in 1907, the dam, which was constructed according to the Intze principle, was put into operation in the spring of 1909. With a capacity of 6 million m³, the Neyetalsperre supplied the city of Remscheid with drinking water until 2004. Today it remains as a replacement for emergencies and is otherwise used for flood protection or to raise low water levels. Since 2007 we have been responsible for the operational management of the Neyetalsperre, which is owned by EWR GmbH. The Neyetalsperre is connected to the Bever Dam, the Schevelingen Dam and the Mühlenteich Wasserfuhr via tunnels and together they form the Bever Block. It is connected to the Eschbachtalsperre by a 15 km long pipeline.

Nice route around the dam.

connection between the dams.

This connection between the dams was also new to me. At that time the engineers gave everything.
