Steg reservoir

Water is collected in the Valüna and stored in the Steg reservoir. In addition, part of the Malbunbach is also fed into the reservoir. The water is then fed through a pressure pipe to the Samina plant in Vaduz, where electricity is produced.

Samina plant water reservoir built in Steg in 1947-48 (1296 m above sea level; area: 3.2 ha; 100,000 m3 usable storage volume). The Steg reservoir is located on the Samina above the mouth of the Malbunbach and is additionally supplied with a maximum of 550 l/s from the Malbunbach. A maximum of 1.5 m3/s of water is fed through a pressure tunnel into the surge tank on Masescha (1270 m above sea level) and through a pressure pipe to the headquarters in Vaduz (457 m above sea level) and then fed into the inland canal via the Vaduz Giessen. In order to reduce the sediment supply, a sediment trap (Gänglisee) is located in front of the Steg reservoir. Regular emptying of the reservoir (removal of fine sediment, control of the bottom outlet) means that no permanent animal and plant communities can develop in the Steg reservoir. Fishing is possible thanks to the management of the Liechtenstein Fishing Association.
