This high-lying reservoir is part of the malta power plants that were commissioned in 1977. With its height of 200 meters, the Kölnbreinsperre dam is the highest in Austria and one of the highest in Europe.

Hiking

Hiking in the Hohe Tauern National Park is a true treat. Whether an easy hike along the Kölnbreinspeichersee, a day trip on one of the three thousand meter peaks in the national park or a tour on the Hochalmspitze, there is something for everyone.
