A beautiful dam with a variety of recreational activities on its waters, including rowing and stand-up paddleboarding. The water is usually calm and the temperature is very pleasant for swimming. A trip to the dam wall is also recommended.

Much has happened here. On our last visit, the right side of the dam was still a construction site. Now everything is new, and also the boards are very informative. The problems with flood a few years ago and current low water due to construction we did not notice.

At the south end of the dam there is a small exhibition with technical exhibits and some very interesting display boards on the history of the dam.
