East side of Genkeltalsperre

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

You can walk around the Genkeltalsperre on a wide, non-asphalted path (approx. 10 km). At the moment (as of June 1st, 2023), the path on the east side is not quite as good, as various heavy machines were driven here to help with forestry work. So not suitable for every bike.

Genkeltalsperre Dam

Highlight • Monument

The Genkeltalsperre is a pure drinking water dam and is located in the urban areas of Gummersbach and Meinerzhagen. It is mainly fed by the rivers Genkel and Grotmicke. The average annual precipitation in the catchment area is 1320 mm, which ensures an annual inflow of approx. 10 million m³. Most households in the area can be supplied with drinking water from the Genkeltalsperre. It was built in 1950-53.
