The Hauserbachsee, created in 1970 by building a dam, is a reservoir near Miehlen that is about 500 meters long and over 8 meters deep. Surrounded by lovingly landscaped paths, meadows and seating areas, it offers visitors opportunities for relaxation, while swimming and sailing on the lake are prohibited to protect the ecological balance.
