geography

The Eutersee is located a little northeast of the Hessian municipality of Oberzent-Schöllenbach, with its eastern part it already belongs to Baden-Württemberg . With an area of almost one hectare, it is already one of the larger still waters of the Odenwald. The reservoir is traversed in a north-south direction by the eponymous Euterbach , which joins the smaller right Schöllenbach to the Itterbach less than a kilometer after its outflow ; This is further down the valley then called Itter and flows into the Neckar at Eberbach .

Due to its location in the Kerbtal of the Euterbach, the Eutersee has an elongated contour. It is up to 210 m long and up to 65 m wide. The wooded eastern slope of the uninhabited valley extends in the upper lake to the shore, the western slope up to 25 m. On the outflow side, the valley opens up towards the settlement area of Badisch-Schöllenbach . Immediately behind the dam, meadows and other agricultural areas begin, through which a second drain runs to the left of the Euterbach, a mill ditch about half a kilometer long. It starts over the steep valley slopes in the east at 470– 490  m above sea level. NHN a plateau around Hesselbach , which in turn belongs to Hesse and which is at its eastern edge of 547.5  m above sea level. NHN high packages . The right edge height, formed as a spur by the Schöllenbach approaching at an acute angle, drops slightly southwards over a ridge at the level of the lake. At the eastern edge of lake runs a limited motorable road coming from the Baden-Schöllenbach circuitous as crate climb with a serpentine high up in Euterbachtal the slope in a straight line to the near right Hesselbach.

South of the lake about 300 m away on 11 hectares on the edge of the forest of Schöllenbach is a popular youth campsite, which is operated jointly by the Geo-Naturpark Bergstraße-Odenwald association and the municipality of Oberzent and which has up to 5000 overnight stays per year. On the northern edge of the lake there is a small beach, a lawn and a refuge . Due to the constant flow of cold mountain water, the water temperature of the Euteree only reaches 12-16 ° Celsius even in midsummer.

A fish ladder is set into the dam of the lake, which is also designated as an anglers , so that migrating fish can overcome the obstacle.
