The Kölnbrein reservoir is an impressive high-altitude reservoir.

The Kölnbreinspeicher is located at an elevation of 1,892 meters in the Maltatal and is a 4.5 kilometer-long reservoir belonging to the Maltakraftwerke power plants. From the Grossarltal, it is the destination of a challenging high-mountain hike that leads from the head of the Hüttschlager valley past Schödersee, the Kolmseen lakes, and the Arlscharte pass. The hike traverses alpine terrain and offers spectacular views of the surrounding mountains. The Kölnbreinspeicher impresses with its location between the Hohe Tauern and the massive dam. It is a special destination for experienced mountain hikers who are in good physical condition, sure-footed, and have alpine experience.
