The upper basin covers an area of 500 m × 600 m. It has a ring dam about 2000 m long and about 17 m high. Its 6 m wide crown is 92.6 m above sea level. The embankment has embankments that are inclined 1: 2.5 inwards and 1: 3.5 outwards.

In good weather, the tower offers a view of Hamburg and Lüneburg.
