A walk around the reservoir is always possible, even when the weather isn't so good.

Coming up from the valley, past cows that know more about the world than they'd care to admit, it suddenly appears before you: the Latschau reservoir. Smooth as a promise and green-blue like the cover of a travel brochure that means business. No waves, no reeds, no fishing boats. Just water and concrete – and behind them, the silhouettes of the mountains that act as if they already belong to another world. It's one of those unreal scenes that makes you pause for a moment – not because you have to, but because the surroundings suddenly do something to you. The lake lies there like an eye that sees everything. The path around it is wide and easy to walk, but your thoughts become slow, almost reverential.

The Latschau reservoir is divided into two basins, which are assigned to the Rodundwerke. Basin I was completed in 1943, and Basin II in 1972.

The Schwarzsee deserves its name in certain lighting conditions. Is idyllic and quiet in the middle of the mountains.
