Schluchsee Dam

Highlight • Structure

Always a very impressive view of the dam. I recommend not only walking or driving across the top, but also going down; it's special to be able to stand under such a dam.

After yesterday's calf biter, today was a less calf biter and that's a good thing because it's quite warm.
