    Hiking

    Opened in October 2024. Structural changes have been made. There is a kind of platform. It is not possible to walk around the crest of the dam. The view is therefore restricted in some directions. Access is not possible in winter.

    Hiking

    From now on, this is the only way to climb to the top of the dam. The circular path on the top of the dam is no longer accessible.

    There still seems to be hope of climbing the dam crest again at some point:
