Today's useRecreation: The area around the body of water serves as a popular recreational spot with an approximately seven-kilometer circular path for cyclists and walkers.

Purpose and Function Flood protection: It is considered one of the most important protective measures against floods caused by the Kinzig river, which are triggered, among other things, by inflows from the Vogelsberg region. Energy generation: A small turbine system for electricity generation is directly integrated into the dam. Low water regulation: In dry periods, the reservoir helps to keep the water level of the Kinzig river stable.

Construction costs: The construction of the lake and the dam cost around 70 million German Marks at the time. Technical data: The dam is 14 meters high. The basin has a maximum extent of up to 125 hectares and a capacity of approximately 7.2 million cubic meters of water.

The Kinzig reservoir (Kinzigtalsperre) was built between 1976 and 1982 and primarily serves flood protection, low water augmentation, and power generation. The approximately 70-hectare retention basin in Hesse is located between Bad Soden-Salmünster and Steinau an der Straße (district Ahl) and is operated by the Kinzig Water Association.

It is strongly noticeable here that komoot now only inserts landscape photos into highlights, which is why many photos appear cropped. A shame.
