Tips from the Community
Open from Fri-Mon 9am-7pm - looks unspectacular, but has simple but very good food and very friendly hosts. And next to the building there is a great view

The wall has been damming the water of the Teigitsch since 1950. At almost 60 meters, the dam is the highest dam wall in Styria. A footbridge leads pedestrians along the wall. In 2021 the new path for pedestrians was inaugurated.

The shore path meanders beautifully along the water. The trees always give you cool shade in summer, and of course a swim in the lake is a great way to cool off. On the way you will pass enough inviting places. So don't forget your bathing suit.

The jetty is ideal for sunbathing and swimming. You can get in and out of the water relaxed via a ladder and then you can dry yourself on the meadow.
