Photo: DPAThe three villages - Berich, Asel and Bringhausen - were abandoned when a dam was built between 1908 and 1914, flooding the area and creating the artificial lake. Each time that the ruins become visible again, typically in the summer, the Edersee becomes a popular destination for visitors to catch a glimpse.
