that first picture is photoshopped. There is no bridge over it. But this used to scare the crap out of me when I was a little kid. The locals call it the glory hole! I always was afraid of swimming in this lake! 15

Does someone knows what is the aim of that hole?

I mean, what is the point creating that?

If someone can help me, that would be great.

Thanks guys.

But yeah, that is:
1 - Amazing
2 - Freaky

@14 Kinda obvious if you think about it. It's there for exactly the same reason the overflow outlet is there on a sink or bath. If the reservoir gets too full it automatically flows out the spillway.

OK wasn't sure it was for that.
But, still don't understand why they made that overflow system so complicated.

But, at least, it's nice

I wouldn't want to go swimming there, either, but you have to admit, it's fascinating.
