Summer in the Ausseerland Region

Lake Altausseer See is a natural gem at the foot of the mountain Loser. Styria’s largest lake, Lake Grundlsee (5km²), is set in an area that has remained in its natural condition. Surrounded by steep cliffs and clouded in secrecy, you’ll find the legendary Lake Toplitzsee.
Lake Ödensee is a place of outstanding natural beauty amidst alpine moorlands. The karst spring “Strummern” is nearby. It’s worth a visit, especially during the spring runoff. Wild, romantic and picturesque - that’s the Salza Reservoir set between the mountains Grimming and Kemetgebirge.
