ロイテの湖・トップ20

And then it lies down there like a forgotten eye of the landscape: Lake Süns. Dark and round, framed by undulating meadows where summer dwells. No noise, no boats, no paths that claim to lead to the shore. The lake simply looks back – as if you yourself were the stranger in a story that has been told here for much longer. Whoever reaches the pass stands on a line between worlds. Behind you is the lake, in front of you the path to the peak – and to the side, the view stretches far down, where the Rhine Valley disappears. On a clear day, some say you can see Lake Constance. I think you see yourself above all – smaller, but also lighter than you thought. It's not the grand gestures that characterize this hike. It's the way the light clings to the slopes, the way the wind accompanies the path, the way the trail doesn't lead you but invites you. And anyone standing up there—between the Ragazer Grat, the Sünser Joch, and the dark blue of the small lake—may notice: The most beautiful places don't scream. They whisper.

Everything beautifully laid out at the reservoir

The "Hohes Licht" reservoir in Damüls was built in 2008 and has a capacity of approximately 86,000 m³. Because it was constructed in a boggy depression, it was considered problematic from a nature conservation perspective. Some of the bog vegetation has been reintroduced to the sides, but the artificial structure is still clearly visible thanks to the surrounding roadway, the fence, and the graveled, uniformly sloped slopes.

Unfortunately there was no water in the lake, so you could walk right through it

Most visited ski touring summit in the Damüls area, well worth it. Various descent options with different levels of difficulty and exposure. Long powder fun on the north side.

It's definitely a beautiful lake when it's full to the brim. Unfortunately, it was so empty during our visit that we could only walk through it! But that was still nice 🤣👍

Unfortunately the dam is no longer accessible at the moment, so the waterfall is best seen from a distance!!!

The Hohes Licht reservoir was built in 2008 and has a capacity of 86,000 m3. In winter, the pond supplies the water for the artificial snowmaking of the ski slopes.
