The Teufenbachweiher is a reservoir in the canton of Zurich in the municipality of Wädenswil . It is located on the north side of a forest halfway between Hütten and Menzingen .

The Teufenbachweiher is operated together with the Waldhalde power plant by the electricity works of the Canton of Zurich (EKZ). To operate the system, water from the Sihl is led from Hütten through a 2.2 km long tunnel into the pond. The power plant uses the 72 meter difference in altitude to the turbine house in the forest heap. The relaxed water is then fed back into the Sihl.
