Go there, see it: very picturesque, with the Loser mountain peak and the Totes Gebirge looming large over the lake. A walk around the lake is a must, as is a swim in high summer to cool off. If you’re coming in August you might be lucky to be there for Berge in Flammen ( mountains in flames), when they light fires around the lake and on the peaks surrounding it, including bengal fires illuminate them. And in the end you’ll be treated to firework over the lake - gorgeous! Be sure not to pay the €15 for tickets to the event if you’re not going to go to the main area with music and food stalls - it’s much better viewing to watch it sitting on the beach somewhere around the lake.

We just wanted to find a nice place to visit shortly before leaving the area. This lake is surrounded by the mountains and have such a nice climate that the temperature was a bit higher than in the cities. The walk around the lake is about 45 min. There are banches to sit, tables for picnic and mountainbike and bike roads arond as well. Don’t miss if you are near.

This is a quite beautiful spot to visit, also it doesn't require much effort. You can drive to a parking space nearby. If you have the Dachstein Sommercard, you can use the road for free, otherwise you have to pay a little toll. From the parking space a gravel road next to a little creek leads you in 15 minutes (if you walk in a relaxed speed) to the lake. From far away you can already see the waterfall and if you invest another 40 minutes you easily make it there and back including having walked around the lake. Also at the lake there is a restaurant where you can eat. Alternatively there is also a restaurant at the parking space. Additionally this can also be the starting point for a few different hikes.

There are basically 2 ways to get there...one which is sort of mountain road for 4x4 cars ... This one longer, but more comfortable... Second one which we choose (not sure if it was a good idea ...) went straight to the top ....apparently they say short-cut...you definitely need good shoes there... From the beginning it looked like "for well trained people only"...and myself and my wife we were suffering "a bit" ... But our sons 21 and 14 yrs liked it a lot... After one hour of "survival race" we went out of the woods (not just proverb... But real forest...) and we saw all taller peaks around even covered with snow....we were around 1600 m above sea level....then we choose "easier" option and continued on the road...after approx 30min we saw lake... Amazing view... You definitely go for it!!
