Montiola Weiher, Thüringen The Montjola-Weiher were created in 1837 for the use of water power for the textile industry in Thüringen. Besides that, the Montjola-Weiher have been a popular destination for excursions and a local recreation area. The Montjola-Weiher (also: Montjola-See or Montiola-Weiher, 686 m above sea level) are located on the Quadern high plateau in the municipality of Thüringen. The Montjola-Weiher were created in 1837 for the operation of the spinning and weaving mill founded by John Douglass and partners. In the 1980s, the ponds were dredged. In 2016, Montjola-Weiher II was renovated and redesigned for approximately 250,000 Euros[2] and the infrastructure was slightly expanded.[3][4] At the same time, a "Historical Experience and Educational Trail" was established, illustrating the long history of water power utilization for industry in Thüringen. A significant portion of the costs was funded through the LEADER action program of the European Union. In 2024, to relieve the ponds and as flood protection, an approximately 700-meter-long tunnel was laid using the Micromining method, which diverts the excess water of the Schwarzbach via the Schlosstobel into the Lutz. In spring 2025, the planting of the renatured pond took place with the participation of students from the Thüringen primary school.

Transition from the Walgau to the large Walsertal valley. Waypoint between Hoher Fraßen (Rapenschrofenweg) to the west, Breithorn and Els Alpe to the east.

Lake Spullersee stores water from the surrounding mountains to generate energy in two hydroelectric power plants, the Braz power plant and the Spullersee power plant. This reservoir and the power plants are operated by the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB), so the electricity is used for the railways. According to the ÖBB, the frequency of the generated traction current is 16.7 Hz, while the grid frequency in Austria and Europe is 50 Hz. Lake Spullersee also serves as a flood protection facility.

Zug is the starting point for fantastic mountain bike tours, for example to Lake Formarin or Lake Spuller. A particularly beautiful loop is possible around Lake Spuller: take the road and the Dalaaser Stafel alpine pasture (https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/2615746) to the lake, then continue along the lake and over the Stierlochjoch pass (https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/7658010) to descend back to Zug on the other side: https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/7658010. Of course, you can also ride the whole route in reverse, but that will be considerably more challenging!
