Kölnbrein Dam

Highlight • Monument

Whether you're someone interested in technology, an action freak doing bungee jumping or just admiring and hiking, it's simply a highlight!

If you want, there are also guided tours through the barrier, where you can learn a lot about its construction and maintenance.

Kölnbrein Dam

Highlight • Monument

The Kölnbreinsperre is a profoundly impressive highlight high above the Maltatal and the undisputed heart of Austria's highest dam. Via the hairpin bends of the Malta-Hochalmstraße, you reach the huge Kölnbrein reservoir. Directly on the dam crest, the Berghotel Malta with its viewing restaurant and the informative experience exhibition “Verbund-Energiewelt” invite you to take a break. A real thrill is the “Airwalk”. A glass viewing platform that juts out freely over the vertical dam into the depths.
