Edertalsperre is a large reservoir created by damming the Eder River in the Waldeck-Frankenberg district. Completed in 1914, the dam is 36 metres thick at its base, 400 metres long at the crest, and creates a lake 27 kilometres long with 69 kilometres of shoreline. The reservoir serves multiple purposes: enabling Weser navigation during low water levels, reducing flood risk in the Edertal, and generating hydroelectric power. Water levels fluctuate seasonally, lowest in late summer and highest in spring.
