The lower basin is part of the pumped storage plant Markersbach. In times of low energy demand, the water is pumped from the lower basin into the upper basin, so that in times of high energy demand by means of turbines electrical energy can be recovered.

Anyway, it is a beautiful lake that is suitable for a break. You can fish in it or take a bath. The circuit around the upper basin is ideal for inline skating.

Here you can cycle a very nice round around the pool. A beautiful water playground for the little ones is also prepared.
