Greetings from Schluchsee
The Schluchsee is a reservoir lake in the district of Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald,
southeast of the Titisee in the Black Forest near Freiburg im
Breisgau, Germany.
The Schluchsee, with its height of 930 metres above sea level, is the
highest reservoir in Germany and also the largest lake in the Black
Forest. By contrast the Hornberg Basin (Hornbergbecken), is 1,048
metres above sea level, but is the upper basin of a pumped storage
hydropower station, rather than a reservoir.
The water of the reservoir is relatively cool even in summer because
of its high elevation.
The best-known settlements around the Schluchsee are on its northern
shores and include the eponymous town of Schluchsee and the hamlets of
Seebrugg by the dam itself and Aha. The Three Lakes Railway, an
extension of the Höllentalbahn, runs from Titisee station along the
northern shore to the terminus at Seebrugg.
The Schluchsee is surrounded by numerous walking trails in the local
area. The entire length of the shoreline, about 18 km long, is
walkable, mostly level and suitable for prams. From May to October the
walks may be combined with boat trips on the pleasure cruiser St.
Nikolaus (en.wikipedia).

Der Schluchsee ist ein Stausee bei St. Blasien im Landkreis
Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald in Baden-Württemberg. Er liegt südöstlich des
Titisees und ist der größte See des Schwarzwaldes.
Der Schluchsee war ursprünglich ein Gletschersee, dessen Spiegel rund
30 Meter unter dem des heutigen Sees lag, der erst durch Anstauung der
Schwarza entstand. Dieser ist heute in Richtung Nordwest – Südost 7,3
Kilometer lang und 1,4 Kilometer breit, die tiefste Stelle auf dem
Grund liegt 61m unter der Seeoberfläche.
Der Schluchsee hat ein Stauziel von 930 m ü. NN und liegt damit hinter
der höchstgelegene Talsperrensee Deutschlands. Noch höher ist mit 1048
m ü. NN das Stauziel des Hornbergbeckens, das Oberbecken des
Pumpspeicherwerks Wehr ist, jedoch hat dieses keine Talsperre.
Die bekanntesten Ortschaften um den Schluchsee liegen an seiner
Nordostseite, darunter der Hauptort der Gemeinde Schluchsee etwas
unterhalb der Seemitte sowie deren Ortsteile Aha im oberen,
nordwestlichen Seebereich und Seebrugg an der Staumauer. Die
Dreiseenbahn, das verlängerte Ende der Höllentalbahn, fährt vom
Bahnhof Titisee aus am nördlichen Seeufer entlang bis zum Endbahnhof
Seebrugg.
Wegen der Höhenlage ist das Wasser auch im Sommer relativ kühl.
Der Schluchsee ist von einer Vielzahl von Wanderwegen umgeben. Der
ganze See kann umwandert werden, diese etwa 18 Kilometer lange Tour
ist weitgehend eben und für Kinderwagen geeignet. Die Wanderungen
können von Mai bis Oktober mit Fahrten auf dem Ausflugslinienschiff
St. Nikolaus kombiniert werden (de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schluchsee).
