Does anyone know anything about the Mauvoisin dam?

Question

I saw a picture of it and it looks like it is in the middle of nowhere. How did they get to it? are there roads there? Why was it built? All I could find is the height and years it was built. I just think it's facinating.

Answer 1

The Netherlands, Switzerland, so easy to confuse the two.

I don't suppose you're American, are you, Buck? So many of them see the world as The United States of America, Greatest Country in the World, and everywhere else.

Answer 2

Uhm,

This is not in The Netherlands but in Switzerland.
