Lake Spullersee stores water from the surrounding mountains to generate electricity in two hydroelectric power plants, the Braz power plant and the Spullersee power plant. This reservoir and the power plants are operated by the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB), so the electricity is used for the railways. According to the ÖBB, the frequency of the generated traction current is 16.7 Hz, while the grid frequency in Austria and Europe is 50 Hz. Lake Spullersee also serves as a flood protection facility.

The approach via the asphalted Spullerseeweg is the much more comfortable option compared to the very steep gravel path that leads from the other side over the Stierlochjoch to the lake.

A narrow path leads directly to the shore. Lots of small fish swim around here. You can also go fishing there. You can relax on the shore. It invites you to cool off a little.
