View from the slopes of Tegelberg in NW direction to the St. Coloman Church and the E shore of Forggensee. This hydropower reservoir, going back to the early 1950s, occupies part of the basin of a Late Glacial lake. The combination of a reduced top water level with a generally low water level in winter and an extremely dry late winter 2022 has led to a considerable part of the lake presenting itself in dry condition in this scene.
