A beautifully situated reservoir. Different seasons and lighting conditions have very different optics and charms. Top and very worth seeing.

A very pleasant gravel path along the Syvenstein reservoir; past the Fall bathing area, then here near the fishing boats, and later, after a short up/down, even to the sediment barrier with its emerald-green water.
