Facts and practical information

Nestled in the heart of Germany's picturesque countryside, Diemelsee is a serene lake that offers a tranquil retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. This idyllic body of water is situated in the Waldeck-Frankenberg district of Hesse, providing a natural paradise for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

Diemelsee is not only a feast for the eyes with its crystal-clear waters surrounded by lush forests and rolling hills, but it also serves as a hub for a variety of recreational activities. Visitors can indulge in sailing, windsurfing, and fishing in the lake's abundant waters, or explore the numerous hiking and cycling trails that weave through the surrounding landscape.

The lake was formed by the damming of the Diemel River and now acts as an important resource for flood control, power generation, and as a water supply for the region. The Diemelsee dam, constructed in the early 20th century, is an impressive feat of engineering, and it contributes to the lake's charm and functionality.
