Overflow or Atlantis?

You can see how high the water level is here on a daily basis.

water level Edersee

The Edersee has an enormous capacity of 199,55 million m³. At a water level of 244,97 m above sea level, the reservoir is at full capacity.

Thanks to a variety of webcams around the region Edersee, you can always keep an eye on the current situation. You can also find a current forecast of water levels on the Upper and Middle Weser Rivers on the WSA website.

   

The Edersee over the course of the year

In spring, nature blooms around the Edersee in new splendor. The water shimmers blue and is even crystal-clear in some places. In summer, the trees turn their leaves a rich green, and the lake's waters are a deep blue. In autumn, you can experience the vibrant colors of the "Indian Summer," while the ruins of the old Eder Valley appear on the lake. Winter is cold and harsh on the one hand, and calm and beautiful on the other.
