The reservoir is mainly fed by sources that have not been developed or secured. The water obtained in this way was conveyed to the pump house in the devil's kitchen via a penstock, where it drove a turbine that pumped drinking water into the city..."

The Kiental Gorge is a deeply cut stream valley that is very easy to walk on (a wide path), but is also very rustic and natural. Above all, the loose pebbles on the slopes form beautiful formations, as they break off again and again. This results in some impressive caves.
