Whether in, on or around the lake, Talsperre Pöhl offers a diverse range of opportunities to discover the reservoir’s refreshing water. This can be through sport – surfing, sailing and swimming – or in a more relaxing manner, such as (sun)bathing, taking a cruise or climbing aboard a pedalo.
Season 2017: 21.04. -08.10.2017
