Welcome to Austria's own Riviera! You'll be captivated by the stunning turquoise-green water, which is perfect for a swim from late spring through summer. The lake is framed by lush, forest-covered hills with the dramatic Karawanken mountains in the distance, giving it an almost Mediterranean feel. You can relax at one of the many swimming spots, take a leisurely boat or SUP trip across the water.
