Highlight • Viewpoint

A beautiful, easy-to-walk circular path leads around the dam. Almost 10 km long. The shore is very rugged. When you think you're almost there, it takes one more turn...

If you don't just love asphalt and if you also like to drive on non-asphalted paths, you can only suggest going around the reservoir (approx. 10km). Again and again there are beautiful views of the lake.
