A very beautiful and interesting hike around the Fláje reservoir. The history of the village of Fleyh, which had to be relocated for the construction of the dam, is particularly moving. Everything is explained very clearly on several information panels around the reservoir.

I really like the shelter that was added later. It protects the bench better and allows you to quickly take shelter from wind and weather. It's very comfortable to sit there.

A beautiful spot to linger, with a lovely carved wooden bench. Especially lovely in the morning at sunrise. Definitely worth a stop.
