Bergstegweiher (Nü Wijer)

Highlight • Lake

The use of hydropower on the Niederenbach dates back to 1899. Since the beginning, the water from the catchment area of the Niederenbach and Auerenbach was captured and channeled to Schwanden via a pressure pipe system to generate electricity.
This pond is a lovely witness to Glarus' energy production.
