Nestled between the foothills of the Grimming and the Kemet mountains lies the wild romantic Salza Reservoir, which is five kilometers long and has a water volume of eleven million m³.
The formation of this terrain incision can still be traced back to the work of glaciers millions of years ago. The 121-meter-long and 53-meter-high dam was built in the years 1947/49, and it was recently fully renovated. The Salza Reservoir is located in a nature reserve, near the Optimamed Health Resort Bad Mitterndorf.
The state road along the Salza Reservoir (Bad Mitterndorf - St. Martin) is closed due to the danger of rockfalls and falling stones (this closure also applies to cyclists and pedestrians).
