The Ohmbachsee was created by damming up the Ohmbach through a dam. Was created as a flood retention basin and completed in 1978. In winter it is lowered to 2?3 of its water surface for reasons of flood protection. Not required in 2018 and 2022 as the water level was even lower. One circumnavigation is about 3 km, depending on which way you take. There are currently 2 restaurants there, but you should find out about the opening times.
