Reschen Dam (Resia Dam)

Reschen Dam (or Resia Dam) displaced the town of Graun im Vinschgau (Curon Venosta). Graun im Vinschgau is famous for its medieval bell tower, which was not dismantled with the rest of the town and still juts out of the water today. More than 97% of Graun im Vinschgau's residents are German speakers, with Italian speakers and Ladin speakers making up much smaller minorities.
