The Fallersee (also "Schnifner Weiher", 683 m above sea level ) is an artificially dammed lake in Schnifis in ( Vorarlberg , Austria ). The former Bad Schnifis spa is located on the bank of the lake in the "Bädle" plot.
history
The Fallersee is a stagnant body of water and was created in 1968 by the Fallersee fishing association (FV-Fallersee) from Schnifis and flooded on July 5, 1968. It is artificially stocked with fish and managed. At the point of the lake there was previously another pond and then a so-called “clay hole”. Clay was extracted from this and processed into roof tiles.
Surname
Faller is said to go back to Latin : vallis for valley . The term lake has been chosen to be misleading for this body of water, because of its size (depth) and extent it is more like a pond .
Geography / topography
The Fallersee is about 20 m south of the Schnifis baths near Jagdbergstraße (L 54). The Fallersbach flows through the lake. It is about 1 hectare in size and a maximum of 3 meters deep. The bottom of the water is dominated by sand and gravel. The lake is considered to be poor in nutrients.
The lake is about 600 m from the center of the village and at the eastern end of the populated area of Schnifis, about 1200 m from the municipality boundary of Thuringia , 1100 m from the municipality boundary with Thuringianberg , about 1000 m from the municipality boundary of Bludesch and 800 m from the Municipality boundary away from Dünserberg . It is about 11 km as the crow flies to the city center of Feldkirch and about 35 km to Lake Constance . At the back of the Fallersee, near the catchment area of the stream, there is a Kneipp basin belonging to the community. This is freely accessible and was rebuilt in 2014 by apprentices from Hilti in Thuringia .

use
The Fallersee is used as part of sport fishing and is also a publicly approved natural swimming area (in a partial area).
At the north-western end of the lake there are so-called "whisper mirrors". This is a possibility to experimentally test the function of the reflection of sound waves, in that information can be exchanged via the parabolic mirrors (90 m away) through acoustic noise transmission (acoustic reflection) without additional energy supply. The two parabolic mirrors serve as both a transmitter and a receiver. The higher the frequency of the noise (e.g. speech), the better the reception.
At the southeast end of the lake is a small fish farm that drains into the lake.
