Water reservoir Bitburg

Located in the scenic Prüm Valley, the reservoir near Biersdorf is the tourist hub of the Southern Eifel. The 35-hectare reservoir offers a wide range of recreational activities, such as pedal boating, rowing, and paddling. A special attraction is the fountain in the middle of the lake, which can be seen in the summer.

During the summer months, the reservoir has a beach-like atmosphere. The reservoir beach is located in a prime spot, near the parking lot by the kiosk. Sun loungers invite you to relax. If you’d like, you can have a private picnic on the beach or take advantage of what the kiosk has to offer. Near the beach is a photo spot called “Reservoir with a Heart.”

Stand-up paddleboarding is available on the reservoir. Please bring your own board; there are no rentals available on-site.

Stand-up paddleboarding prices:
- half day: €5.00
- full day: €10.00

Unfortunately, swimming, diving, and fishing are not permitted in the reservoir.

The lakeside promenade, approximately five kilometers long, is perfect for a stroll. At the “Zur Rotlay” parking lot, you’ll find an information board with hiking routes . Along a section of the lakeside loop trail, you’ll discover the “Trees of the Year.”

Several restaurants, eateries, and cafés are located in the immediate vicinity.
