    The outflowing water of the Pasterze glacier has been dammed in the turquoise Margaritzenstausee since the 1950s. The reservoir is used to generate electricity and is part of the Kaprun storage power plants.

      The route goes directly over the dam wall. It's impressive how deep it goes down on the other side.

        Beautiful reservoir and perfect photo motif at the foot of the Grossglockner.
