- The Waterfall of Anthochori, through a 1200 m path. Path’ beginning is stone paved, has rest points with benches and springs and continues through the gorge, surrounded by planes.
- The Dam, which results the lake. The dam is an arched structure, 200 m in length and 83 m in height. It was completed in 1959, when started the water filling of the lake. This water is used as power for the D.E.I. hydroelectric electricity productive station, of 120 MW power, to which is transferred through a pipeline started at the lake’s eastside, close to Tsardaki area, and next irrigates the Thessaly plain and waters Karditsa, Sofades and 35 other communities.
