Huge structure located in the middle of beautiful nature 🌊💙
Great photo location 🎨📸
40.3 meter high and 650 meter long dam.
Dam with a lot of history:
The Möhne Dam was badly damaged in World War II by a British bombing raid on the night of May 16-17, 1943.🧨

Hiking

The imposing Möhne Dam, consisting of more than 250,000 cubic meters of rubble stone, stops the flow of the Möhne below Günne and dams up the two rivers Möhne and Heve to form the Möhnesee. The 650-meter-wide and 40-meter-high dam can withstand the enormous pressure of up to 134.5 million cubic meters of water due to its weight alone. Its appearance is characterized by the wide base of the wall (34 meters) and the narrow crown (over six meters wide). Thanks to its parabolic construction, the Möhne Dam, designed by Franz Brantzky, also appears surprisingly narrow and elegant.
