In the past, numerous mills lined the banks of the water. There were once 24 of them on the Kammel River. One of them was located right here at the weir. First mentioned in the 15th century, it operated until 1966. Today, it generates electricity. And so, the mill wheel still turns at the Lower Mill.

The Oberegger reservoir area is considered a true "bird paradise". During the Second World War, prisoners of war were used in the construction of the lake.
