Zillergründl Reservoir Dam

Highlight • Monument

You should only enter the dam wall if you have a head for heights. The hike to the Alm (small Tibet) is worth it. There is a lot to discover like plants or animals

We actually wanted to continue from the dam to Little Tibet. Unfortunately, it was closed due to the risk of falling rocks.

A strenuous and beautiful hike. Actually, we still want to continue to little Tibet, only our four-legged giant baby has given up. Regardless, it was very nice!
