history
The reservoir was built between 1960 and 1962 and is owned by VWEW . For power generation two for Voith - Kaplan turbines with an electrical output of 920 kW. The weir consists of two roller gates with attached flaps and is 10 meters wide. The reservoir height of the lake is constant at around 6.4 m.
The initially nameless lake was only named in the district council on July 17, 1967 after a stream flowing into the eastern shore of the lake. The suggestion came from Altdorf mayor Bernhard Diller.
meaning
The lake is located in the Bachtel- and Bärensee nature reserve and , along with the neighboring Bärensee, is a local recreation area in Kaufbeur . It is actively fished and is an important refuge for a large number of native water birds. Beavers have also spread along the Wertach in recent years and settled at the lake. Due to the still poor water quality of the Wertach, especially due to the over-fertilization by the adjacent agriculture, the lake is eutrophic and only suitable for bathing to a limited extent.
There is a hiking trail around the Bachtelsee.
