AI-generated illustrative imageThe Große Dhünntalsperre is located in the Bergisches Land region of North Rhine-Westphalia, between Wermelskirchen, Wipperfürth, Kürten and Odenthal. It is one of Germany's largest drinking water reservoirs and supplies water to much of the region. Because it serves drinking water protection purposes, the immediate shoreline is restricted; a forest and nature conservation belt surrounds the lake. The surrounding paths are perfect for hiking and cycling through the quiet, wooded landscape of the Bergisches Land.
