�� Soboth Reservoir

Soboth reservoir is an artificial reservoir in Austria created in 1990 when an embankment dam on the Feistritz stream was created to power the Koralpe hydroelectric power plant. The artificial lake is located in the Koralpe mountain range, near the Soboth village, beside the road connecting Lavamünd and Graz, close to the Soboth Pass near the Slovenian-Austrian border. Its elevation is about 1080 m above sea level. Its natural drainage basin has an area of 29.7 km². The reservoir is around 2 km long and up to 500 m wide, has a surface area of 0.8 km2 and is up to 80 m deep. In summer, the lake is a popular place for swimming due to its clean water, cooler climate due to its high elevation, and natural surroundings consisting of spruce-covered hills.
