Husen reservoir

Paths wind through the countryside around the water, making it easy to explore the lake on foot or by bike. The Altenau Hiking Trail and the Altenau Bicycle Trail run right past the reservoir.

It’s also worth taking a moment to consider the reservoir’s function. The reservoir was created following severe flooding in 1965 and serves as a retention basin for flood control in the Altenau Valley.

Excursions
Anyone interested in learning more about the reservoir and its function can book a group tour with the Wasserverband Obere Lippe (WOL). The tour provides insights into the facility and its role in flood protection.
