No, these are not the Alps, this is the Alb!

A beautiful reservoir that you can walk around. The Glems pumped storage power plant, located south of Metzingen near Glems, was built between 1962 and 1964 by the then Stuttgart Technical Works. From 1997, it belonged to Neckarwerke Stuttgart, and since October 2003, to EnBW Kraftwerke AG. The pumped storage power plant has a capacity of 90 MW, generated by two 45 MW Francis turbines. It is connected to the high-voltage grid of the distribution system operator Netze BW via a two-circuit 110 kV three-phase line via the Metzingen switchgear.

Idyllic old mill selling drinks. Mill shop and also beautiful decorative items. A wedding party was being prepared in the back part of the mill.

Here you can enjoy a cool drink behind the mill, right by the water of the mill canal. Unfortunately there is no cake, but you can find a very large range of products in the mill shop.
