Bathing pleasures

Water games, lake romance & a bathing paradise

Refreshingly cool or pleasantly warm and wet, crystal clear water or healing water from Austria’s third most potent sulphur spring. This is what makes romance on the lake and a bathing paradise.

Big and small lakes present themselves in all their variety in our holiday region: naturally for swimmers and for those who want to relax on a deck chair or in a flower meadow, for those who want to row a boat or take a pedalo out on the lake. No concreted over and fenced off shore lines are allowed here, but unspoilt swimming fun from an informal lido or in a pleasant open air pool, or simply stroll along the lakeshores in the villages of the holiday region.

All the lakes are clear and pure and are an open invitation to leap into the refreshing water and to enjoy days of swimming in the Tyrol. But it is not only water babies who have a good time in our lakes but also to “cast a line” here is a popular and very promising leisure pastime.

Lakes

KUFSTEIN - Hechtsee
	The heavenly natural lakes, not least the Egelsee, which is a nature conservation area, are true gems of nature. Lakes and streams with drinking quality water surrounded by a wonderful backdrop. Dive in! The Hechtsee, as the most popular bathing lake for Kufsteiners, is also an El Dorado for joggers and walkers. No matter what the weather, a walk or run round the lake is a special tip. Enjoy the fantastically beautiful mountain backdrop. Enjoy the panoramic view in all its glory from the sun terrace of the See restaurant.
LANGKAMPFEN - Stimmersee

SCHWOICH - "Bananensee"
	The first biotope-bathing lake in the Tyrol was opened in the summer of 1998. The facility, directly on the edge of the woods, not only provides a refreshing experience with its pure, crystal clear water, but also invites you to walk round the shore of our “Bananensee” (so-called by locals because of its shape).
THIERSEETAL - "Thiersee"
	In summer, the 25 degree water attracts not just avid swimmers and sun worshippers but also water sportsmen and women. You can hire pedalos, rowing boats and dolphin boats from the lido, a high-diving board and an aqua jump are at your disposal and, in the summer, the Thiersee is a true El Dorado for surfers. You can also keep fit with beach volleyball and there is a huge playground next door for the youngsters. You can also find glorious sunbathing meadows and idyllic bays round the lake.
