The wall has been damming the water of the Teigitsch since 1950. At almost 60 meters, the dam is the highest dam wall in Styria. A footbridge leads pedestrians along the wall. In 2021 the new path for pedestrians was inaugurated.

The shore path meanders beautifully along the water. The trees always give you cool shade in summer, and of course a swim in the lake is a great way to cool off. On the way you will pass enough inviting places. So don't forget your bathing suit.

The dam is always interesting to look at. There is a public one at the Ströhbernen Bridge Bathing area and of course a circular hiking trail around the barrier is marked.
