Aggertal Dam

The Aggertalsperre is a lake in the heart of the "Oberbergisches Talsperrenland" (Upper Bergish Reservoir Region), located near Gummersbach and Bergneustadt. It stretches across two arms and invites visitors to enjoy beautiful hikes and walks with views of the water.

A wide variety of water sports activities are possible at the Aggertalsperre reservoir. Bruch beach Bathing is permitted to one's heart's content, as is also the case at Aggertalsperre Leisure CampRowboats and pedal boats are also available for an exciting tour on the water. Barbecue areas complete the perfect day at the lake. And those who want to stay at the Aggertalsperre reservoir for several days can also camp here.

The themed hiking trail starts at the dam of the Aggertal reservoir.Energy pathway"from the "Streifzug" series of the Bergisches Wanderland hiking region.

A huge artwork has been on display at the dam since summer 2025. The 137-meter-wide and 6,5-meter-high piece addresses the REGIONALE's future theme, "Everything is a Resource!" Resources shape the Bergisches RheinLand region: water, forest, grass, and stone have shaped and continue to shape the cultural landscape and are omnipresent. Accelerated climate change makes it clear: a sustainable and efficient use of local resources is crucial. The large-scale artwork "ECHO" at the Aggertal Dam sends a powerful message in this regard.
