Bathing Lakes in Upper Austria

Lake Attersee

The turquoise-coloured Lake Attersee, measuring almost 47 km² in size, is internationally famed for its excellent sailing conditions. The constant “Rosenwind” guarantees exceptional sailing and surfing fun, but diving along the shores and waterskiing are also popular activities. In summer, the water reaches 25°C, making Lake Attersee a wonderful bathing lake, too.
