The Wessenbach lock regulated the water inflow from the Wessenbach for the canal. The Schwarzenberg canal was fed with water from 27 streams and the Plöckensteiner Lake. Three artificial reservoirs were created to secure the water supply.

A tour that is quite easy to drive (No. 800) with varied sections of the route. Great view of the valley near St. Oswald. Relaxed driving on the alluvial canal.
Only a small section along the Vltava reservoir is littered with potholes 😬.

very nice tour. From Aigen / Mkr - St. Oswald Haslach
Moldaustausee - Gasthaus Blauer Hirsch - Flood Canal - Aigen The tour is well described and drawn. Good mix with asphalt, gravel and forest paths.
Attention, the last 2 km after Aigen is extremely steep down
