Lünersee

Lünersee is a lake in the Austrian Alps. It spreads in the region Vorarlberg, approximately 12 km south of the city Bludenz . It lies close to the border with Switzerland , at the foot of the peak Schesaplana, at an altitude of 1970 m. The Lünersee had recently been the largest lake in eastern Austria . It was surrounded by rugged hills and ravines. However in 1958, a dam was built on Lünersee, which raised the water level by 27 m. An artificial reservoir was created which currently supplies energy to the power plants on Lünersee and in Rodundo. A cable car will take you to the lake, as well as to the top of the dam.
