A smelly, dirty lake with mosquitoes. Occasionally, nudists are also there—the police are aware of the problem.

There are parking spaces at the reservoir as well as benches and tables for a rest. The lake is not particularly big but still offers some variety. 👍🏻

The Am Richelberg pond complex is located east of Bleialf, a local community in the Schneifel in the Eifel district of Bitburg-Prüm in Rhineland-Palatinate, near Prüm. The body of water is therefore in the North Eifel Nature Park. The Dürenbach river flows through the ponds. The “Richelberg” road flanks the ponds on their western banks. There is a large farmstead on the opposite road. At the height of the northwest bank of the southernmost pond, the Wöppelbach flows into the Dürenbach. Here the “Richelberg” road bridges the two streams. A little further north of the pond complex is a barbecue hut. The Am Richelberg pond complex is located northeast of Bleialf on the edge of a small forest area. The ponds are accordingly characterized on the eastern bank by the foothills of this forest area. On the western banks - as a boundary to the “Richelberg” road - the ponds have a narrow strip of trees.
