Der Speicher Kölnbrein ist das Kernstück der Maltakraftwerke. Das direkt in den Speicher entwässernde Gebiet reicht allein nicht aus, den Jahresspeicher zur Gänze zu füllen. Aus diesem Grunde werden die Zuflüsse der Oberen Lieser und einige Bäche im Bereich des Malta- und Gößtales auf rund 1.700 m Seehöhe gefasst und im Vorspeicher Galgenbichl gespeichert. Von dort werden sie in den rund 200 m höher gelegenen Speicher Kölnbrein gepumpt. Zusätzlich wird auch Wasser aus der Möll rund 1.300 m hochgefördert und zur Füllung des Speichers verwendet.
Marsaxlokk is a traditional fishing village in the South Eastern Region of Malta.Very beautiful place.

One of the most fascinating aspects of Malta is its ancient history (and I mean really ancient). They left behind magnificent temples, but also figurines - like this one, dated to about 3600-2500 B.C., making it around 5000 years old!
Fascinating as it is, we also have to be honest with that we know precious little about the belief-system behind these things, so it is not known what the purpose behind these small (and large) statues was (offerings? depiction of gods? depiction of people? something else entirely?).
Figurine on display at The National Museum of Archaeology, Valletta, Malta (it's not a very big museum, but worth a visit).
