What to expect
The Sylvenstein Dam, also known as Sylvensteinspeicher or Sylvensteinsee, is a reservoir located in the Isarwinkel region of Bavaria, Germany. It was built between 1954 and 1959 to provide flood protection and ensure a constant water level in the Isar River. The dam has a maximum storage capacity of 124.3 million cubic meters of water and is equipped with two small hydroelectric power plants. The reservoir is approximately 7 kilometers long and 2 kilometers wide, with a water surface area of 3.92 square kilometers. The surrounding area is a popular destination for outdoor activities and offers scenic views of the Alpine landscape. Visitors can enjoy the picturesque scenery and take part in various recreational activities. The Sylvensteinsee is also home to the former village of Fall, which was relocated and rebuilt after the construction of the dam
