Zeinissee

Highlight • Lake

Little brother of the Kops reservoir. Here, too, bikers will find the opportunity to put their feet up and refill their spent grains. And with the most beautiful mountain panorama.

Generally, the winter hiking trails are excellently prepared and can be used by winter hikers, snowshoers and cross-country skiers. It is always worth getting information about the current condition of the trails from the tourist office beforehand.

Kops Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

The Kops reservoir, also known as Kopssee, is picturesquely nestled in the Austrian Alps in the state of Vorarlberg. This artificial reservoir was created through the construction of the Kops dam on the River Ill and is primarily used to generate energy. The imposing dam towers majestically and forms an impressive contrast to the surrounding alpine landscape.

The Kops reservoir covers an area of around 217 hectares and reaches a maximum depth of around 85 meters. Surrounded by forested slopes and rugged peaks, the lake offers an idyllic backdrop for nature lovers and those seeking relaxation. The region around the reservoir is a popular destination for hikers and offers numerous opportunities for outdoor activities.

In addition to its importance as an energy source, the Kops reservoir presents itself as a place of peace and relaxation. The lake's clear mountain water reflects the surrounding mountains, while hiking trails and viewpoints offer visitors unforgettable panoramic views. Whether you enjoy the breathtaking natural scenery or do some sport, the Kops reservoir is a fascinating destination for anyone who wants to experience the beauty of the Austrian Alps.
