The Aichstruter reservoir (often simply called Aichstrutsee) is a popular bathing lake, approximately 4 hectares in size, in the Swabian-Franconian Forest Nature Park. It is located in a wind-sheltered valley position about 3 kilometers north of the town of Welzheim in the Rems-Murr district (Baden-Württemberg). Originally built in 1958/1959 as a flood retention basin, it now serves as an important local recreation area for the region and the greater Stuttgart area.
