Discover the power of water in our latest exploration of Zillertal's largest Stausee. This reservoir plays an integral role in the region's energy supply.

Generating a significant percentage of the region's electricity, this Stausee is a testament to the harmonious blend of nature's power and human ingenuity. But it's not just a standalone powerhouse. It's part of a complex network of reservoirs, all connected by a series of pipes, creating a dynamic water highway.

As day turns into night, water from lower reservoirs is pumped back into the Stausee, ready to generate power once more as it cascades down during periods of high electricity demand. It's a continuous cycle of energy, with water at its heart.

Join us as we drive to, walk across, and fly over the Schlegeis Stausee dam.
