Easily crossable at the weir (officially only by pushing). The Ferlach-Maria Rain power plant was built between 1971 and 1975 as the third power plant on the Middle Drau (after Feistritz-Ludmannsdorf and Rosegg-St. Jakob) with financial participation from KELAG. Two Kaplan turbines generate 315 GWh of electricity annually from 100% hydropower.

The upper area of this territory can still be described as a flowing section, with the head of the reservoir gradually transitioning into a slow-flowing area. In the lower part of the reservoir, the river is bordered by high dams; it is over 500 meters wide here, and the current is extremely low. The shallow water zones with their reed beds offer ideal spawning grounds for fish. The Wellersdorf bay is a protected area and therefore can only be fished from June 16th onwards. Whitefish predominate, and there is a lot of fishing for carp and tench. Salmonids are caught occasionally in the upper area. Among the predatory fish, zander, pike, and catfish are present. There is hardly a native fish species that doesn't exist here; surprises are always possible.
