Just below the dam there is a pumping station with a free drinking water tap.

The Moselotte has its source, a little higher up, on the slopes of Kastelberg at a place called “Fontaine de la Duchesse”. Its water feeds Lake La Lande.

Further on, it will flow into the Moselle in the territory of the commune of Saint-Étienne-lès-Remiremont.

The Lac de Lande, located at an altitude of 1060 meters below the Kastelberg, is, in contrast to most other mountain lakes in the Vosges, not a natural glacial lake that has been further dammed. It was created in 1983 as a reservoir to produce electricity and to feed the snow cannons of the La Bresse Hohneck ski area above the lake in winter. There was massive opposition to the project from environmentalists who did not want to see the remarkable raised moor in the area flooded. Finally, it was agreed that, in compensation, the floating moor Tourbière de Machais, the only one of its kind in the Vosges, would be placed under special protection. Remains of the former moor can now only be seen on the southeast bank of the lake.
The Moselotte flows through Lac de la Lande. You are not allowed to swim in the reservoir. However, it is very well accessible thanks to well-marked hiking trails from Hohneck and the Vologne valley. There is also a 1.6 kilometer long circular path for walking around Lac de la Lande.
