The artificial lake arose in the early 1970s during the construction of the nearby Süd Autobahn. Owned by the Villach city administration, it is part of a publicly accessible recreation area and a destination for bathers in summer and ice-skaters in winter. In 1991 it held the Water Ski World Championships.
