Beautiful rest area. Now with a shelter. View of the Schwartenberg (Seiffen). Great panorama. This spot is highly recommended.

Crossing is possible via a footpath directly next to the main road. Great view from the other side of the dam.

In 2001, Fláje consisted of 3 houses, in which 20 people lived.[5] From the old village, the foundations of the relocated church and houses are still visible on the eastern shore of the reservoir.
