Circumnavigating the reservoir is fun. In the counter-clockwise sense, you start on a "motorway". The classification S1 does not apply here. You are not allowed to go through the second tunnel. Outside you meet S2. When you're halfway there, the way becomes more difficult. From here on S1 is correct.

The descent from the top of the dam is really fun. It is also quite manageable for beginners. Even if it's about 8 kilometers downhill, you still need strength in your thighs, arms and shoulders. You notice that a little the next day 😉
