View of the embankment on the lake side of the dam from the left bank
I remember the weather was quite bad and it rained on and off, sometimes very hard. I think it is unavoidable because it rains a lot in this area, but I would prefer sunny days if at all possible. However, rainy days are not bad either, as they have their own charm.
Flood Discharge or rather Residual Water Discharge
For some reason, there is a stone embedded in the flood discharge. We do not know the reason, but it may have a momentum-reducing meaning.
View of the downstream bank from the left bank
It is quite steep.
Stairs attached to the embankment
It is probably a maintenance staircase. The pipe-like structure on the left is said to be a water intake facility pipe.
View of the dam lake from the top
There is a bridge in the middle of the pond, which is pictured in the back. It is not a large pond, but it is deep in the mountains and full of nature. Fishing is prohibited.
View of the park downstream from the top
Sorry for the poor coloring of the picture as a whole. The pond is surrounded by a park, with playground equipment downstream. As expected, there was no way to play in this weather... However, on this day, there was a family barbecuing. Even though it was raining...
Flood discharge, or rather, the conduit section of a spillway.
I don't think it will flow in torrents.
