Probbacher Waldsee in Hessen
Idyllically situated between Probbach and Winkels in the Faulbach valley is a small reservoir, the 2.5-hectare Waldsee with a storage capacity of around 80,000 cubic metres. Its dam is nine metres high and 160 metres long. Built in 1974 as part of the Probbach/Winkels land consolidation programme and subsidised by special funds from the federal government and the EEC, the lake was intended to contribute to the development of the lower Westerwald as a leisure and recreation area. Now that the municipality of Mengerskirchen has built modern sanitary facilities, a kiosk and a barbecue hut here, the forest lake offers excellent opportunities not only for swimming but also for fishing.
