View of the Urft Dam Spillway

Highlight • Viewpoint

It's really impressive when the water runs down the funnel. It's so loud you'd think a big vacuum cleaner was running.

Splendid! Down in the valley at the Kall the meadows were white and up at the dam the sun was shining!❄️☀️
And so early I was all alone in the forest...😊

Tonight we went to the Kalltalsperre again. This time we started from the hiking car park at the Kall Bridge. A very nice little round, which first leads over a wide gravel path and finally - after it goes downhill again - along a washed-out forest path. Kallbach and Peterbach accompanied us.
