Very beautiful lake, nestled in a narrow valley. The stairs at the dam are only suitable for pedestrians... Cyclists must take the hiking trail above the inn to the river, then an easy-to-ride path leads to the Blaibacher See.

View from the Höllenstein Dam

Highlight • Viewpoint

This is where the Black Rain is dammed. This created the Höllensteinsee. After the damming, it continues into the Blaibacher See, dammed by the dam wall of the Pulling power plant and flows close together with the white rain to finally become rain.
