Lake Spullersee stores water from the surrounding mountains to generate electricity in two hydroelectric power plants, the Braz power plant and the Spullersee power plant.

According to the ÖBB, the frequency of the generated traction current is 16.7 Hz, while the grid frequency in Austria and Europe is 50 Hz. Lake Spullersee also serves as a flood protection facility.

The approach via the asphalted Spullerseeweg is the much more comfortable option compared to the very steep gravel path that leads from the other side over the Stierlochjoch to the lake.

After the Sonnenkopf cable car's last descent, there's a wonderful silence, and you almost have the large plateau to yourself. The occasional biker still to be seen 😅

From here, the route climbs to the Stierlochjoch (2009 m). This is one of the last gravel roads that is pleasant for mountain bikers. The rest is paved all the way up to the summit.
