The dam is 260 meters long and up to 75 meters high. The pent-up water drives the turbine of the Romkerhalle hydropower plant. It was built from 1955 to 1956.

Kalbetal climb to Torfhaus

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Free from traffic and a scenically attractive environment, for me the most beautiful route up to Torfhaus. Just over half of the route has gradients of 7 to 9%, with a few ramps of up to 12%. You have to take the main road for almost a kilometer with a gradient of around 8% before you finally arrive at Torfhaus.
