View of Bostalsee from the dam

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Bostalsee is a reservoir in the municipality of Nohfelden in northern Saarland, which was accumulated in 1979. The dam has a length of 500 meters. The lake is almost exclusively for recreational use. The dammed water power has been used to a limited extent since the end of 2013 to generate electricity, especially in order to illuminate the circular route around the lake during the winter months. The south-western part of the lake is designated as a nature reserve. There are two beach baths, a boat rental, petting zoo, bike rental, catering and much more.

Lake Bostal

Highlight • Lake

The lake is really great but unfortunately quite crowded.
It is best to plan early in the morning or later in the evening

From Selbach, a mostly good, occasionally moderate, asphalted path with rows of trees to the Imsbach estate and its chapel.
From the Imsbach estate to Theley, you can choose between an asphalted road or a gravel track to the Jahann-Adams-Mühle.
This section is part of the Saar-Bostalsee cycle path.
