The Ferlach reservoir is the backwater of the Drau by the Ferlach-Maria Rain run-of-river power plant. It extends above the Feistritz-Ludmannsdorf power plant with the Feistritz reservoir. While the Ferlach reservoir is bordered on the north side by the slopes of the Sattnitz, on the south side it is partly higher than the immediate surroundings and is bordered there by a dyke. The waters that the dyke cuts off from the Drau are collected by the Little Drau, which runs along the foot of the dyke on the south side and flows into the Drau below the power plant.
