Nice vantage point on the dam. From here you can start a tour around the dam. A pure bypass is about 14km.

View of the Ratscher Reservoir from the Heckengereuth rest area

Highlight • Viewpoint

Located directly in front of Heckengereuth, the rest area has been given the name View of the Heckengereuther Meer, as can be read on the bench. This of course refers to the reservoir, which can be seen from here. A rest with a view is therefore possible.
