The lake/dam is beautiful to look at from the Vennbahn. Access to the water is limited. I have to mention that I don't know my way around there.

The dam itself is not crazy but it is a good starting point for walks in the surroundings, and in particular the one that leads to the very close Reinhardstein castle.
