The Krombachtalsperre nature reserve is a paradise for bathers, water sports enthusiasts, camping fans, cyclists, and hikers.


The Krombachtalsperre nature reserve, located close to Rehe, is a paradise for bathers, water sports enthusiasts, camping lovers, cyclists, and hikers alike.

The largest body of water in the High Westerwald covers an area of 93 hectares and holds approximately 4.25 million cubic meters of water.

At the shore, sandy beaches and sunny meadows beckon. Swimming, surfing, sailing, stand-up paddling (with rentals) - the range of possibilities is virtually limitless, allowing families with children, each with their own interests, to come together under one proverbial roof. And when the children don’t feel like a dip in the cool water, they will eagerly visit the beautiful children’s playground.


Part of the Krombachtalsperre area is designated as a bird sanctuary, providing an ideal breeding ground for many rare marsh and water birds. Moreover, countless migratory birds use the Krombachtalsperre as a welcome stopover.


The Krombachtalsperre is surrounded by dense deciduous and coniferous forests, where walkers and hikers enjoy exploring to experience the tranquility and unspoiled nature.


On weekends from May to October, there are transport options from Herborn to the Krombachtalsperre and onward to Rennerod with buses from the "Blue Line," including bike trailers.
