Due to the weir system and the run-of-river power plant, the Isar is dammed up to form a large reservoir. The dyke system offers a wonderful view over the dammed river, which is also a real paradise for birds.

Here the Vils is dammed up and becomes the Vilstalsee, a beautiful reservoir with lawns and a great beer garden. Nice place for a break.
