그라펜탈‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 호수

From below and from above: Very impressive!

This was our starting point for the circular tour. Amazing from below, it looks even more impressive from above! Looking down gives you a thrill :) The dam is open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. A stamping station is available for tours.

The dam is rather unspectacular. The path along the west side of the reservoir is also not worth the effort. The view of the lake is usually blocked by trees, even in winter, as the trees are so densely packed that the trunks obscure the view.

This is the former Lehesten roofing slate opencast mine. Its dimensions alone are impressive; along with the nearby Oertelsbruch, it was one of the largest slate quarries on the continent (approximately 800 m long, 300 m wide, and up to 80 m deep). Source: Wikipedia

A beautiful region 🤩 If you like, you can also take a detour to the Alvater Tower.

Great facility with toilets, showers and charging facilities for cell phones or e-bikes. The bathing area is also very nice, although the depth of the Ölschnitzsee is manageable :)

Worth seeing dam, the second highest in Germany

A very impressive building, built in the early 2000s
