Tips from the Community

July 31, 2026, Kronsegg Reservoir

Once upon a time, this artificial reservoir was an extremely popular bathing paradise. People traveled from afar to bathe in "Kronsegg". Romantic solstice celebrations and even "hot" motorsport events on the ice are now only remembered by a few. After the last dam renovation, the reservoir could be refilled starting in 2002. The flood in August 2002 already forced the dam to pass its first test.
