Austria Galgenbichlspeicher (view from Kölnbreinsperre)
The Kölnbreinsperre is the highest dam wall (200m) in Austria with two beautiful reservoirs next to it. There's a viewing platform which rewards you with a great view.
It's located in the Austrian Alps in Carinthia (Kärnten) with lots of spots to get great photos and go hiking or climbing in the mountains.
