The 10 Best Bodies of Water in Tirol, Austrian Alps
Once known as The Land of the Mountains, the 10,000-square-mile province of Tirol is a wonderland of gushing rivers, lush meadows and rugged peaks. Fantastic hiking trails wind along paths through the Zillertal Alps. Famed resort towns confetti the mountainsides, including Kitzbühel, St. Anton, Ischgl and Seefeld, site of some events in the 1964 and 1976 Winter Games. Compact capital Innsbruck is a medieval gem. The Tirolean identity is strong: Expect to see lederhosen and feathered hats.

We came here for a day trip in the summer and loved it - the location is so beautiful, very scenic. We parked in Pertisau and were lucky to find parking along the lake. From there it was a short walk to the boats - you can take a round trip or a one-way trip for a various length of time - we were here with two small children so opted for a 40-minute round trip around the lake and that was perfect. Once you're on the boat you can order ice-cream and coffees etc - this is quite highly priced as you would expect, but it's part of the experience. Absolutely beautiful location and we can't wait to return and spend more time here.

Great walk along the dam wall. Scary height! A great platform out over the dam. We walked to the end of the reservoir which took almost an hour and a half. Saw some wildlife but that's all. It was quiet. Most people stay near the dam and restaurants. Use the bus from mayrhofen. They are every hour and costs 16 euro which includes a toll. Great journey up the valley. The bus ride is worth the trip alone. They are about every hour.

This peat bottomed lake ist just a pleasant walk from the town Center.It has lovely views and in summer a nice swimming area. One can walk all the way round a distance of about 3 Kilometers mostly on the level with only a couple pf manageable (I‘m 77) steep bits.There are a couple of nice resteraunts and a coffe/snack bar right by the waters edge so you can take a break if you want to.There is adequate parking and everything is very clean. You can also rent a boat if you wish rowing if you‘re active or motor driven electric if you are not..It‘s worth a visit.It‘s very nice in winter too and thepaths are kept clear so one can enjoy a walk

The Fernsteinsee with its crystal clear, blue water is a wonderful lake in the mountains of Tyrol, Austria. The castle hotel with restaurant offers an excellent stay, even for a short meal and a leisurely stroll when you are passing through. There are also campsites and hiking trails around the lake for hikes or walks. You can dive, swim or go boating. You can rent the boats. Swimming - as is often the case with mountain lakes - is only for very hard-boiled people. The water is very cold. A short stop with a meal in the restaurant and a walk is worthwhile. The landscape is picturesque. Even if the highway is heavily used. The Alps in the background, the lake and nature are simply unique. A detour of several kilometers on your trip is definitely worth it.

Very nice lake, easy doable hike around the like. Half of the path is very straight, other half is a bit more challenging (as in: not doable for wheelchairs) parking si pretty close to the piburger see too. Make sure you have coins with you - parking is 4 euros and you can only pay with coins at the machine.
