Schwarzenbach Dam and Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

Impressive dam, it is also possible to walk around the lake. The Westweg long-distance hiking trail leads right past it. It is the largest reservoir in the northern and central Black Forest.

The Schwarzenbach Dam is the most important structure of the Rudolf Fettweis Pumped Storage Power Plant. Completed in 1926, the dam collects water on the eastern slope of the rain-rich main ridge of the northern Black Forest. Water from the Murg River is also pumped into the reservoir, as the facility serves to balance the energy supply. The gravity dam is 400 meters long and 65 meters high. The lake is over two kilometers long.
