The lake covers an area of 267 hectares and is nestled between the two villages of Hof bei Salzburg and Fuschl am See. At its deepest point the lake boasts a depth of 70 metres. The water is fantastically clean, crystal clear and boasts drinking water quality. The 11 km of shores surrounding the lake are unspoilt and for the most part have been left in their natural state.

Numerous public beaches and secluded bays, ideal for swimming, are dotted around the lake so if you do decide to walk round the lake, don’t forget your swimsuit! In addition to hiking and cycling you can also relax by hiring a boat or with a few tranquil hours of fishing.

Gliding almost silently across the lake in the electric-powered, traditional wooden boats is an absolute must and is a highlight for young and old alike. To round off the perfect family holiday the summer toboggan run is open daily (weather permitting), activity farms can be visited and on request we can also offer guided nature walks for the whole family.
