The bottom of the reservoir is only temporarily visible due to current maintenance work.
I find it as fascinating as the lunar landscape during the extensive drainage of Lake Schluchsee a few years ago.

You don't have to come because of the reservoir, but the further ascent is definitely worth it

We recommend stopping here (in the last third before the dam wall) and watching the water, if you are lucky you will see a whirlpool that is created when the water is pumped out. Reminds you of draining the water in the bathtub, only the dimensions are slightly larger :-).
