This high-lying reservoir is part of the malta power plants that were commissioned in 1977. With its height of 200 meters, the Kölnbreinsperre dam is the highest in Austria and one of the highest in Europe.

That used to be a thrill on the Airwalk. Glass floor with a view of 200 m depth. 🙆🏻‍♂️ Yes, climate change is already recognizable from the capacity of the reservoir. Here you realize once again how small we are in the whole universe. Magnificent views of the mountains all around.
