The dam Pirk has for walkers, cyclists, for swimming or just so my full recommendation! The dam with campsite, campsite pub, cottage settlement and youth hostel is also easily accessible from the A72 motorway. The dam was put into operation in 1939 and holds 10 million cubic meters of drinking water! The dam is at least 284 meters above normal zero.

Pirk Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

On the north bank of the dam there are two beautiful bathing spots that are ideal for a rest or even as a destination for a tour. On the shore of the lake you can relax comfortably in the grass and refresh yourself while bathing in the cool water.

If you need a little more action, you can work out on the volleyball or soccer field. Children can get rid of their excess energy in the playground.

There is a restaurant or a kiosk on both beaches if you want to strengthen yourself. Free toilets are also available.

On the north bank of the dam, a path runs directly along the bank. This is a beautiful hiking route where you can enjoy great views of the dam.

Pirk Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

Personally, the reservoir does not allow me. He is not dog friendly and seems very overweight. The bungalows are close together. Toddlers should not walk around outside without supervision, as there are no steep slopes other than a shield.
