On the banks of the reservoir in Losheim, the 50,000 square meter "SeeGarten" is an area for garden lovers. The extensive grounds with their mixture of trees, shrubs, grasses and perennials reflect the different seasonal aspects of spring, summer, autumn and winter. Here you can enjoy a leisurely stroll through the riverside garden with its alternation of colorful perennial areas and flowering hedges and find peace and relaxation, e.g. during a picnic with family and friends. The bistro with a view of the lake invites you to linger after a visit to the garden. The garden visit is free and possible during the opening hours of the garden bistro (currently Wednesday to Sunday from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Monday until 6:00 p.m., closed on Tuesdays). Weddings can also be held here. The future spouses can choose whether they want to go the classic route of a civil wedding in the Losheim registry office or whether they want to opt for a free wedding in the romantic Park of the Four Seasons. The very beautiful water playground and the NABU nature garden are, however, only accessible via the lido and are structurally separated from the lake garden.

Losheim reservoir Surrounded by natural landscape, the Losheim reservoir presents itself to visitors as an attractively designed recreation center. It was built under the direction of Mayor Raimund Jakobs of the municipality of Losheim over a three-year planning and construction period with major state funding from the federal and state governments. The groundbreaking ceremony was attended by Prime Minister Dr. Franz-Josef Röder and the mayor on September 26, 1972. With a length of 1,200 meters, a maximum width of 400 meters and a capacity of 1.5 million cubic meters of water, the lake covers an area of 31.1 hectares. It was inaugurated on April 28, 1974 and handed over to its intended use. A modern campsite and an eco-village with comfortable wooden houses, as well as an integrated swimming pool, complement the tourist function of the reservoir. With its water sports opportunities and hiking and jogging on a four-kilometer-long circular path, it has already been the destination of millions of visitors. The Seehotel as well as hotels, restaurants and guesthouses in the districts of the municipality of Losheim am See offer good accommodation options for tourists. The lake is the destination of many representative events throughout the year. Source: Text information board
