From here, you can even see the Alps across the reservoir. The church steeple of Altkaufering is also clearly visible.

The fish ladder is also noteworthy.

Since the Lech River has carved a deep gorge into the rock below the dam, the geological information panel fits in well here. Information on other topics is available at various points along the paved circular path around the lake.
