An approximately 2.5 km long circular path leads around the reservoir.
Since the lake is now fenced off all around, there is no longer any possibility of getting directly to the water.

A beautiful reservoir that you can walk around.
The Glems pumped storage power plant, located south of Metzingen near Glems, was built between 1962 and 1964 by the then Stuttgart Technical Works. From 1997, it belonged to Neckarwerke Stuttgart, and since October 2003, to EnBW Kraftwerke AG. The pumped storage power plant has a capacity of 90 MW, generated by two 45 MW Francis turbines. It is connected to the high-voltage grid of the distribution system operator Netze BW via a two-circuit 110 kV three-phase line via the Metzingen switchgear.
