Wallroda Dam (German: Talsperre Wallroda) is a dam near Radeberg, Germany.
The dam was built between 1986 and 1989 in near Radeberg and south of Großröhrsdorf, with the intended purpose of supplying water to farms and fisheries in the area.[1] It also has a small part in regional flood prevention strategies.[2]
A campsite can be found on the northern bank of the dam. Additionally, there are a restaurant and a miniature golf course.[3]
There are no water rescue facilities, anyone who enters the water does so at their own risk.[1]
The dam's reservoir is listed with the Deutscher Anglerverband (German Angling Association). For environmental protection reasons, fishing is only permitted in designated areas.[4]
