Rengse Dam and Bergische Sun Bench

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Rengse Dam is part of the Aggertal Reservoir. It was built between 1927 and 1929 and continues to fulfill important functions in water management. From the bench, there is a fantastic view across the elongated reservoir with its wooded shoreline.

Agger Reservoir

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

Whether summer or winter: It's always a wonderful experience to look out over the Aggertal reservoir from the dam. Or, on the other side, to feel so small standing next to the dam! Simply beautiful.
