Behind the dam lies a green valley with grass and trees, with the small Salemer Aach in between.
The catchment area of 287 square kilometers fills the valley quickly when it rains. Record in July 2021: almost 13 meters of water at the dam. Drainage rate at the top: 8500 liters / second. The emergency overflow at the edge of the dam has never been needed.

If you're out and about in dry weather, you might think it's a contribution to the taxpayer's black book. In fact, the retention basin can hold a billion liters of water and allow it to drain off in a controlled manner. Especially when the snow melts or after heavy storms. An example from the recent past with pictures here: suedkurier.de/region/bodenseekreis/owingen/weshalb-in-den-aachtobel-up-to-einer-milliarde-liter-wasser-passen-musessen;art372489,10729124

On the map here is a lake marked, - but it is just there only at high tide! On the stairs of the dam you can make good rest.
