The hike is moderate in difficulty and suitable for most outdoor enthusiasts, making it a perfect family outing.
In winter, the lake area transforms into a winter wonderland, attracting snowshoe hikers and cross-country skiers.

Off the beaten path in Austria
Rented a car and searched for random water bodies on Google maps. Chanced upon this beauty! This is supposedly a reservoir. The water was so clear and serene, and with the beautiful mountains behind as backdrop, this is heaven. What's more, there's little to no people there so you have the whole place to yourself.
Can't wait to embark on my next trip to Austria again.

Seefeld Kurpark – a place for relaxation and encounters in every season!
Summer transforms this park into an oasis of peace where you can escape from everyday life and unwind. The beautiful green area invites you to relax on park benches, while the pond and the sculpture of a unicorn create a very special atmosphere. But the real focal point of the summer are the open-air concerts that bring the bandstand to life. Here, harmonious melodies combine with the natural beauty of the park, and listeners come together to listen to the sounds and enjoy the community.
But the Seefeld spa park also has a lot to offer in winter, especially during Advent. From the beginning of December, the park will be illuminated with magical light installations - the Seefeld Light Park is open! The trees are decorated with twinkling stars, the casino tower lights up festively and the pond is suddenly inhabited by a glowing whale. But that's not all - just a few meters away, the interactive game "4-in-a-row" invites you to have fun.
