Losheim reservoir
Surrounded by natural landscape, the Losheim reservoir presents itself to visitors as an attractively designed recreation center. It was built under the direction of Mayor Raimund Jakobs of the municipality of Losheim over a three-year planning and construction period with major state funding from the federal and state governments. The groundbreaking ceremony was attended by Prime Minister Dr. Franz-Josef Röder and the mayor on September 26, 1972. With a length of 1,200 meters, a maximum width of 400 meters and a capacity of 1.5 million cubic meters of water, the lake covers an area of 31.1 hectares. It was inaugurated on April 28, 1974 and handed over to its intended use. A modern campsite and an eco-village with comfortable wooden houses, as well as an integrated swimming pool, complement the tourist function of the reservoir. With its water sports opportunities and hiking and jogging on a four-kilometer-long circular path, it has already been the destination of millions of visitors. The Seehotel as well as hotels, restaurants and guesthouses in the districts of the municipality of Losheim am See offer good accommodation options for tourists. The lake is the destination of many representative events throughout the year. Source: Text information board
