Not really suitable as a bathing lake, as it says in the description here. This is a lower basin of the Markersbach pumped storage power station owned by Vattenfall AG and the basin doesn't always look so great. When the water has been pumped into the upper basin, it looks like a lunar landscape. But you can walk around it or cycle around it.
